Your experience with Gentoo is really appreciated and is really awesome |
| 23 |
that you are |
| 24 |
interested in contributing on the CJK project. |

Gentoo CJK project needs a big support effort and your interest is really |
| 38 |
appreciated! |
| 39 |
Having already experience with C, C++ and bash is really a good start. |

|
| 41 |
I suggest that you start working on the CJK bugs [1], you can find such |
| 42 |
bugs on |
| 43 |
Gentoo Bugzilla [2]. |
| 44 |
Look into the related packages in the Gentoo repository [3] and figure out |
| 45 |
what's missing. |
| 46 |
Feel free to ask on this list along with your preparation. |
| 47 |
Then you can come back with a feasible plan for the summer. |
