We're still working on setting up a CIShell developers list, so for now we recommend contacting one of our staff directly. Try Chin Hua Kong (kongch[at]indiana[dot]edu) for more technical questions, or our director Katy Borner (katy[at]indiana[dot]edu) if you are interested in working with us more closely.
You can also want to check out the Network Workbench mailing lists, our Sci2 help list and other help resources, or our 'Ask an Expert' feature on the Sci2 website.
