RE: In search of mentor...
Bastian,
I appreciate the response. However, it brings up two questions. I went
through the list of packages last night. A. How do I determine if anyone
even gives a rip about the package any longer? ( I noticed many of the bug
reports are well over a year old ). and B. How do I select something that
isn't going to be way over my head from the start? (Remember I'm pretty
much still a newbie). Any pointers?
Thanks!!

Yup, we need a lot of man pages[1].
Then, you can try to test unreproducible bugs[2].
If you happen to speak other languages besides English, we need a
lot of package descriptions and documentation translated[3].
Hope this answers your question.
