Hey I've offer to be a "slave" to Debian but no one seems to be taking me
seriously. I'll write man pages, clean up code, test, whatever, I just need
some guidance in the right direction. The way I look at it, the more
exposure I get, the more I learn. The more I learn through doing the grunt
work then maybe I get better can move to more of a developer and then
someone else can pick up the grunt work.
