That's great! We have a lot of projects that could really use the help! Could you perhaps tell us a little bit more about your areas of interest? We've learned by experience that volunteers aren't simply generic resources who can be pointed at any old task and expected to do it - they need to be directed at things that genuinely *interest* them or the motivation just won't be there, to say nothing of the degree of enjoyment that we'd like everyone to be able to derive from their work with this project. Though it has grown fairly "serious" in the last year or so, we started this project essentially for recreation, being the software hobbiests that we are. I'd like to keep that purpose alive for as long as possible, and the best way of doing so is to foster the development of a team of volunteers who are all essentially enjoying what they doing. To sum it up - yes, we'd love to have you aboard! What would you LIKE to do? Best regards, Jordan > I am retired with lots of time on my hands that needs to be used.
