Simpler than uploading and maintaining packages is just testing them, and filing bugs where appropriate, or making "wishlist" suggestions. A lot of people just use packages, find something wrong, and gripe to themselves without notifying the package maintainer. And there is always a need for better documentation, so if you find something difficult, try to think of a way to explain it so the next person has an easier time, and send it to the package maintainer. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
