Unfortunately all I can do now is learning more. A good way to do that, while contributing to the project, is to work on the documentation. Specifically, look for open bugs where people complain the documentation is outdated or does not correctly describe actual behaviour. Develop a patch. Submit it for review. Get it committed. In the process, meet knowledgable people and ask them incisive questions. :-) > (Hopefully a future developer). We can always use more. Respectfully, Robert Huff
