I was looking on the Debian homepage the other day because I want to work
on Debian "offically". I've been reading this list for a while now (like
they suggested). Anyway, I saw the LessTif and Mozilla were up for grabs
(is that true for Alpha?), so I would like to take those. I was waiting
for the compiler problem (it was fixed, but I'm waiting until most of the
packages are rercompilled) and X to be pretty much done before I
reinstalled Debian, how are those going?
Any thoughts/suggestions? Even stuff about joining Debian will be
welcome.
I look forward to joining your team.
