I really don't know what reply you are talking about, simply because you

See, I might be able to help, but because you removed all context from 
your email, I don't even know what I had suggested to you in the first 
place. So if I try suggesting something now, I might just end up 
repeating what I already told you, which is a waste of time for both of 
us. :-/

When you reply to emails, make sure you keep the important context in 
your reply.

Also, please reply to the mailing-list, not to me personally. There are 
other skilled people on the mailing-list who could help you, it's not a 
one-man-army. :)

So, to actually answer your question: there is nothing I can suggest for 
you to work on.

Fedora is a community of **volunteers**, which means everybody work on 
what they want to work. Nobody assigns work to others.

So the first thing for you to do is to really figure out what you enjoy 
doing, what you want to bring to Fedora. And then, just start doing it. :)

You mentioned Java and Haskell in your email, so if you haven't found 
them yet, let me at least give you the wiki pages for the Java and 
Haskell Special Interest Groups:
     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Java
     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Haskell_SIG

If you want to, you can join them and help them achieve their goals.

Have a look at the general list of SIGs as well, in case you find 
something that picks your interest in there:
