I'd also like to expand on this a little further to point out that we |
| 16 |
have recently enacted a policy to help track/list what a given |
| 17 |
contributor actually contributes to through the use of bugs[0,1] which |
| 18 |
could be beneficial to someone's application to the recruiters. Note |
| 19 |
that this isn't intended as a replacement for the recruitment process. |

That being said, there are still a lot of bugs and PR's to be done, so |
| 23 |
we would welcome any new members wishing to help facilitate user |
| 24 |
contributions! |
