Work on EVE Online has always been a community effort, and CCP is currently calling on players for help fighting lag and becoming a Bug Hunter.

The EVE team has been investigating lag in faction warfare in the server side for some time, and now they need your help looking at the client side of things. "The more people that help us with this, the faster and more accurately we can solve this issue. What makes it even better is that it is easy and fun to help out. This is what we need from you: We need you to run the logserver (easy), and participate in as many Faction Warfare battles as possible (fun)." You can find out all about participating here.

If hunting for bugs is more your thing, you can apply to become a Bug Hunter if you're 18 or older. "We are looking for those with a technical inquisitive mind. If you yearn to understand the game mechanics from beginning to end then you are the type of person we want." All sorts of information on the position can be found here.
