Not at all -- I checked my logs and it seems I only mentioned this off- list, D'Oh! What you do is sign up for a Launchpad account (this can be done using the "Log in / Register" link near the top of any page on the site) and then, once you've signed up and are logged in (your name will be where the "Log in / register" link was) you need to go to https://launchpad.net/ ~agrip-hackers and then use the "Join this team" link to request to join. This will give you write access to the bzr repository, though I implore any novice coders to not make any changes until they have been able to check very thoroughly that their changes work! You can develop in your own bzr repository very easily without becoming an agrip hackers member by going to a console and typing "bzr branch lp:audioquake" -- that will give you your own copy of the code that you can develop in and keep up-to-date with the "official" code. You can also use it to send experienced developers a patch when you want to make changes. That said, I welcome anyone who is interested to have a go at development, as you all know I am unfortunately not able to contribute a fraction of what I wish I could at the moment! By all means join the group (it will help with bug reports and so on) and try making your own personal code modifications until you feel you've got the hang of it. I will do my best to help. > Also could you please give me a link to a good Perl tutorial? To be honest I found the perl man pages the best source of information. Just type "man perlintro" in a console window on Linux or Mac OS X and you'll get the first tutorial for it. If you're using Windows you should find a HTML version of this manual page via the ActiveState group on the Start -> Programs menu.
