Weinre
Code completion in Wienre console is awesome, nice functionality.
iWebInspector
Similar to Weinre, has a little more info in Network tab, the real good part is the Scripts tab. Timeline stuff is also much better than Weinre. Profiling works and is pretty rad. Might help with app functionality timing.

Contribute to weinre!
Report bugs (through Apache bug tracking technically, but he likes twitter messages, they're just as good).
Request a feature. He likes feature requests when he's bored.
Hack on stuff, docs need help.
He's interested in help with replacing XHR transport with socket.io
Windows Phone 7 support is needed.
