Yes we are!
Given the growing success of JPPF, and the overwhelming number of features we need to implement, we can definitely use some help.
We have just posted an announcement on SourceForge at this location:

We are looking for responsible developers who are willing to communicate frequently (email, chat, phone, voip), make time or task commitments, and keep their commitments!
Some of the tasks we envision with your help:
