You are very welcome to help out, regardless of your python knowledge. Pretty much all I know about python I learned by playing with those scripts myself. The amount of daily work is very low. I'd say I put in an hour a week or so. The minimum requirement is probably just to subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and check the mirrors webpage every now and then to make sure things look ok. (It might be good to also subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I wouldn't call that a requirement.) If you are still interested, let me know and I'll have you added to the relevant groups. Thanks.
