Firstly, it's not a port. It's a complete rebuild from the ground up. Everything in TLD has been remade, and craploads more added.
Same with scripts. We had to code everything in from scratch. Items, troops and factions weren't such a big fuss, but we've long since moved into the realm of quests, advanced scripting for the war system, and other such intricacies. There are about a dozen people on the team, working intermittently as life and time allows, but of those there are perhaps 3 skilled enough to work on the war system, and perhaps 3 more who can do quests. All of whom have lives.
To answer your question; if you can build script, or even build quests, then you can be of help. If we had a really dedicated quest maker with a little time on his hands, we could blow through a number of quests in short order. That would be a huge step towards a green light.
