1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm one of the developers of the xmds simulation program
4 (http://www.xmds.org; used to solve differential equations, and
5 applicable in a variety of fields) and would like to contact someone
6 interested in packaging xmds to become part of Gentoo. The software
7 is licensed under the GPL and is a sourceforge.net project
8 (http://xmds.sf.net). It uses autoconf for configuration and
9 installation so hopefully isn't too hard to package up, however I
10 don't have much experience in doing this myself, so it would be great
11 to find someone who can do this and is already a Gentoo developer.
12
13 Whom should I contact? Is this the correct way to go about getting a
14 new package into Gentoo while remaining an upstream author and not a
15 package maintainer as such? It would be fantastic to have this
16 program as part of Gentoo.

18 Many thanks in advance for your help!
