Okay, I'll ante in. :)

Maybe after lurking for a while to get a feel for the lay of the land I can chip in a little.

To add to what Darrick said, some of the work is also just about
bouncing around ideas and nitty gritty details about how we want to
change the system moving forward...  the complexities of configuring
certain packages and getting scripts wrapped around these to simplify
and automate everyday tasks...  things of that nature.

You don't have to be a C programming guru or a makefile expert to
contribute.

Sometimes being able to download, test, troubleshoot, and accurately
diagnose problems with recent changes (and regressions) can be invaluable.

And if all you want to do is sit on the mailing list, and contribute an
occasional comment or insight, that's fine too.  At least we'll know
we're not working in a vacuum.

Thanks,

We have quite a few new people around here lately (which is great!). I
just wanted to point out that we have a two mailing lists.  The
astlinux-users mailing list was originally the only mailing list.  At
some time, we added the astlinux-devel mailing list to allow us to
separate the boring developer stuff from the general users.

I know neither mailing list is particularly high traffic, but for
archival purposes, it may be easier to separate topics to some degree.

Most of the discussions regarding the development environment, should
probably take place on the astlinux-devel mailing list.  Most of that
discussion involves problems that do not affect the resultant
distributed files. That may lead to general users perceiving a problem
that doesn't exist.

The astlinux-users mailing list is intended for user interaction on the
binary Astlinux releases.

If you're interested in tracking the development progress, you may also
find the svn commit mailing list.

As long as I'm bringing this up, we wouldn't mind having a few
additional contributors.  Most of the development work involves bash
scripts and makefiles.

Thanks,

Darrick
