I'm getting started reading the porters handbook. I was wondering if I can adopt a port to practice maintaining one without the experience to keep it properly updated at first. I'm a little intimidated by contributing and not sure how best to learn the porters handbook. I guess read it multiple times?

When you do changes, make sure:= - it builds cleanly in poudriere. - it passes portlint. - you follow the porter=E2=80=99s handbook as good as you can, but without f= reaking out about it. In case you=E2=80=99re uncertain, ask questions on this mailing list. Open PRs in bugzilla or (in the beginning) reviews in phabricator. Committers will help you. Either it will work, or you will learn. No one wil= l judge you, so no worries.
