Debian has a wiki already (even two :).
Things you can do to help:
- look at bugs in packages from the pkg-gnome team that are severuty >=
important: probably all >= serious need to be listed and addressed, some
important bugs might be nice to fix
- look at packages in the pkg-gnome SVN repository and check whether
some things were not uploaded and are worth uploading
- compare experimental and unstable packages in the pkg-gnome SVN
repository
- look at other GNOME packages' >= important bugs, either because these
are desktop or fifth toe packages not handled by pkg-gnome, or
because these are integrated in GNOME (eg galeon is not officially a
part of GNOME)
- compare the versions of packages from pkg-gnome and other GNOME
packages between unstable and testing, and check whether they're in
sync and if not why not: a FTBFS is a serious bug, but the reason
could be an ongoing transition such as the flac / arts / qt-x11
transitions
- in general, bug triage to sort things fixed already
Whatever you find out, you can report here, in a "meta" bug against
gnome, or on a wiki page, but of course it's best if you directly
resolve issues instead of reporting them. :)
