You don't need approval in order to help. This mailing list is not moderated and is open for the use of all users of the Debian operating system. It is for the discussion and support of Debian users using the system. You do not need to be subscribed in order to post. Start by reading the mailing list guidelines. Most importantly the mailing list Code of Conduct. That way everyone is working from the same rules. http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/ And then spend some time reading the mailing list before posting. It is a high volume mailing list with a very large number of subscribers. It can be overwhelming. Take your time. Wait for the right opportunity. I am sure you will see people asking questions in an area that you will have expertise. When that happens feel free to jump in and help. The Debian community is a very large and diverse one. It has young and old and new and experienced users and contributors. The mailing lists hold discussions very much like a town hall meeting. In real live town haul meetings are populated by people with different interests and who are interested in different things. Except that being a mailing list you do not need to be acknowledged to speak to the group. You can simply speak. People listen if they choose. But also remember that sometimes the most helpful and best thing to say is nothing. Welcome to Debian! Bob
