Currently we need the help in following areas: 1. Debugging already ported applications to make them working better on FreeBSD; 2. Port applications not yet ported to FreeBSD; 3. Keep already ported applications in up to date; 4. Submit FreeBSD-specific patches and fixes for already ported applications back to GNOME developers; 5. Support FreeBSD GNOME users in the mailing list and FreeBSD PR database; 6. Write more documentation about porting GNOME apps to FreeBSD. We have some preliminary one - it will be introduced to the world RSN; 7. Improve GNOME on FreeBSD website, which is to be introduced to the world RSN; 8. Test that all GNOME ports are buildable (requires lot of disk space and CPU power, so beware) and report if there is something broken. And so on... Therefore, if you really want to help - pick one of the tasks, for which your skills and preferences are best suited and go forward. Feel free to bug me if something is unclear or more detailed info is necessary. > also, what are the plans for porting the gnome 2 release?is there > anything i/we can do at this early stage? There are some plans to start porting gnome2 once 4.5 is out. This will depend on how much hands willing to help we would have. > anyway, let me know how i can help out, i'd like to jump in. You are really welcome to. Your help will be much appreciated.
