Let's hope "not yet, but soon". There are ports that are very easy to do, don't be too humble. However, you might want to check the problem reports on http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi for things to do on existing ports (and elsewhere). Waiting for someone to ask you for anything probably won't work, just pick a project to hack on and ask if you run into problems. Here are some things to read: The Porters Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html Contributing to FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/index.html Regards Henrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
