Should I just randomly pick an open bug and try fix it?
Seems to be a very reasonable way to start.
Should I try adopt some abandoned packages?
Adopting packages is also a good idea - preferably those who have
a high popcon and those which are used by yourself. A very nice
utility (which is frequently overlooked - I detected it myself only
10 monthes ago) is
wnpp-alert (in package devscripts)
Just try it and find your target. ;-)
Should I take a look at WNPP and try package something new?
For the moment I'd consider some QA work as more needed than
injecting something new - except if you are missing something
RFPed very heavy.
Is there something specific I could start helping with?
I subscribed this list only to help out Eclipse packaging a bit.
I'm no Java expert but I can do QA checks of packaging or sponsor
packages if needed.
Should I coordinate my activities with somebody or should I "play solo"?
Please coordinate!
I'm looking forward hearing your tips and ideas :)
Hope this helps
Andreas.
