Helping out on packages that don't get much attention could be |
21 |
gratifying. I don't think I'd mind that, depending on how difficult the |
22 |
packages are to maintain. :p |

I really don't know which teams or areas I'm interested in. I think my |
25 |
current skills predispose me to documentation or tree cleaning. Sunrise |

Gaming is fairly important to me, too... I could help add or maintain |
30 |
games that'll run on Gentoo. It's really a blank slate to me. |

On that note, I spent early morning today completing the ebuild quiz. |

I'm not sure if it's ready for review yet, or what I need to do to |

submit it. Guess I'll have to look that up, too. :) |
