26 Well, I would be willing to get my feet wet at least. I'm disabled and
27 been using Gentoo since the 1.4 days. If someone would be willing to
28 put up with a few screw ups I would make, I could give it a go. If I
29 really suck at it, you can kick me out. ;-) No hard feelings. I'm
30 not sure how much I can do but maybe enough to help some at least.

32 Someone is going to have to explain what I would be doing tho. That or
33 a really smoking hot link to explain it all.
