For those who would like to join: as I said, I won't be much available until early November, but some other devs might.
You also might want to see if you would like simply commit access to the science overlay, to maintain a few packages. Meanwhile here are some pointers and tips to get you started: - get full knowledge of gentoo docs, handbooks [1] and projects - try to help bugs and problems [2] - lurk in gentoo-science, gentoo-dev lists archives [3] - learn the developer handbook [4] and manual [5] developers - lurk or participate in irc channels #gentoo-science, #gentoo-dev, #gentoo-dev-help As far as scientific packages are concerned, we putting more and more emphasis on tests. Providing ways to test packages, by a src_test function or some kind of test recipe is important. Scientists like to get right results (well as much as the software can give)! -- Sébastien [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org [3] http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml [4] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml [5] http://devmanual.gentoo.org [6] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2
