I have read through the relevant page on freebsd.org and intend to look into contributing in a couple of the ways listed there. However, my main interest is contributing a port to the ports collection. Specifically, I want to add WordShell (http://wordshell.net/) to the FreeBSD ports collection. I want to install it for myself, and I generally don't like using software outside of some sort of software manager wherein I can keep everything neatly up-to-date. How would I get started in adding something to the ports collection? Thanks, Stu
