(Paul was faster) Hello Andrei, Jonathan and Ben! (I'm CCing you because I don't know if you are subscribed already. If that's the case, please say so on the list) Thank you very much for your interest in helping out the Debian Games Team. I think the best way to start and get a grasp of potential tasks is to read these pages: https://wiki.debian.org/Games https://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development https://wiki.debian.org/Games/Suggested If you are interested in triaging and fixing bugs in all team maintained packages, head over to http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-games-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org There is a column "Bugs". Just click on the link and try to reproduce those bug reports, add a comment what you think about them or even try to create a patch and attach it. Most games are written in C, C++, Python and Java, so that would be your language of choice. But there are a lot of bugs that simply require to edit some text files or to improve the documentation. You can learn more about Debian's bug tracker at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control If you want to learn how you can create your own Debian packages, check out https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian and try to learn from existing packages by downloading the sources and have a look at the debian directory. Regards, Markus
