Yes, we can always use more help -- there is always far more QA work to be done than there are people with time to do it. :) Manpages are certainly an area in need of ongoing work; for a list of known programs in Debian that are missing manpages, please see <http://lintian.debian.org/reports/Tbinary-without-manpage.html>. For other ideas where contribution might be welcome, there's a list of packages whose maintainers are requesting help at <http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/help_requested>, a miscellaneous TODO list at <http://www.debian.org/devel/todo/>, and of course, a list of release-critical issues for etch at <http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/>. I'm confident there should be something on one of these pages to hold your interest, regardless of skill level! Beyond that, of course, Debian is a very self-organizing group, so you're welcome to work on whatever you think is most appropriate -- the help is definitely welcome, but you probably aren't going to find anybody here to tell you what you *should* work on. :) Cheers and welcome, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
