Well, I suspect you won't be particularly interested then. What I'm doing is
building some of the as yet unreleased GNOME tools like Gill (The GNOME
Illustrator), etc. I'm still using .debs of the official releases of the
core gnome stuff (gnome-core, gnome-libs, etc).
I'm hopeing to come up with some debian/ directories for these programs that
I can check back into CVS.

Fantastic. My experience building Debian packages is limited, and I'm not
an official developer yet, but I would be more than happy to lend a hand with
these.

Well, I'm a reformed perl monger - 2 years of hacking perl only to realise
that I now had an enourmous amount of unmaintainable code that was in place.
Now I even like python's regular expressions more than perl's, and _thats_
saying something.
