I'm interested in becoming a sci developer.  I've been using gentoo to 
do computational oceanography for a couple of years now, and it would be 
nice to know how the whole system works.  How do you sign up?  How much 
time would it demand?  The time might be a problem--I'm tyring to finish 
my PhD right now, but if there's too much to do, perhaps I could join up 
later...?
