This gets asked a lot, and I can never give a hard estimate. There's still quite a bit of work to go, and there's always unexpected delays that stop me working on the mod. I'd definitely say it won't be until December, but I'll be working to ensure that we won't have to wait until 2018.
That depends on what skills you have and what areas you want to work on. Are you any good at writing event chains?
It takes a bit to get the hang of things, teaching someone also takes time away from development. You'd probably be better off creating a few small mods yourself, reading the wiki, taking a look at a couple mods code, and really learning the code before joining the team of a mod.
This is quite right, especially this late in the update process where things are being finished off rather than added. A lot of the features I'm working to finish at the moment are rather complex, and require a very good understanding of how the event system works, which is sadly something you can't assist me with if you aren't already familiar with it. I appreciate the offer, the mod could do a lot more with people to help, especially those capable of creating art assets, but Fastrike is correct in that getting someone up to speed with what we're doing would rather slow down, rather than speed up development at this point.
oh I can make art assets, like spirits for spirit related events or dynasty symbols. I've been learning event coding through "A Song of Ice & Fire" mod.
I was more thinking someone who could help fix and expand upon the mod's portraits, though other stuff is still good. Event graphics and Dynasty CoA's are mostly already handled, though if you want to make some unique CoA's for dynasties that don't have them, and send them to me, that would be much appreciated.
Okay I can work on some different hairstyles and portraits for the mod
If you can send me any new quality additions for the portraits, then please do. We are currently lacking headgear options, for one.
okay i'm currently working on some additions for portraits at the moment

I began working on this Mod with few skills. I had cut my teeth on "When the World Stopped Making Sense" and slowly got better and better at coding. Although I cannot speak for Sweawm, I'd love to have you on the development board. Every beginner has to start somewhere.

Wait until the update comes out and try fixing easy stuff, for example, I fixed how the fire nation colonies joined the Earth Kingdom as tributaries, or Kyoshi making the Avatar court her primary title.
Or just try fixing other mods

The Fire Nation colonies joining the Earth Kingdom as Tributaries is a known bug. I believe it has been resolved by Sweawm.
Kyoshi making the Avatar's Court her main title is Working As Designed. The Avatar is the embodiment of absolute good and would not kill innocents, betray their loved ones, plot and scheme, or commit incest like many players. Consequently, the Avatar is always unplayable and the Avatar's Court has the setting of "PRIMARY = YES".

The Spirit World. I've got a few interesting things to say about that, but it's not all done yet. I'll post a screenshot of it maybe later today.
Alright, here's the little teaser of our new off-map system I promised. I didn't plan to include it in this update, but after Jade Dragon came out, I was impressed by how much I could do with it, so I ended up doing pretty much all in the one day after JD came out.
When the update comes out, I'll be sure to go into a bit more detail surrounding the two 'statuses' included in this menu. The first on the left tracks the relationship between the Physical and Spiritual worlds, and affects your ability to accumulate grace and receive blessings from the Spirits. The second on the right doesn't relate to Spirits, but the new 'Age' System. Right now, there are eleven Ages spread across the timeline. By hovering over the age, you can see a brief lore description of the current age, and whatever rules this age may bring, such as increasing or decreasing trade route value, enabling CB's, or any number of modifiers.
