Is it possible for members of the community, outside the IQSS at Harvard, to get involved in contributing to this project? I am evaluating setting up a new instance, but am concerned that there appears to be only a 6.x release.
I've seen comments that a 7.x release is coming, but can't find any testing versions that I could evaluate. Is there a way for people to get involved? What is recommended? I haven't done a great deal of contribution in the past, but am willing to learn.

I'm already trying to develop
I'm already trying to develop my own themes and couple of features upon OS 3 and currently i'm using for that SCHOLAR-3-0 branch.
Which branch would be better as a start off for trying out to OpenScholar 3?
SCHOLAR-3-0
SCHOLAR-3-1
SCHOLAR-3.x
I've noticed that you keep most of these branches up to date, but i'm not really sure, if there are any considerable differences between those branches?
Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback - I'm downloading the 3.1 branch for local testing. I'll check out the issue queue, and if I can contribute something I will.
Branches
SCHOLAR-3-0 is the first release of 3.0 and contains the code to migrate from Drupal 6
SCHOLAR-3.1 is the second major releases with some new features and many bugfixes
SCHOLAR-3.x is bleeding edge and where all major development happens, It would be helpful if pull requests are made against this branch.
We will get an official tarball out soon with more information about whats in the releases but this covers the gist of it.
