[gentoo-dev] I want to help, but I don't know where
Hi, at first I'm new at this list (I subscribed yesterday), so excuse me if I write stupid things... possibly there is a page or FAQ about this subject, but I really didn't find it. I want to help and I don't know where. I tried to find a page at gentoo.org which lists needed manpower or at least gives some hints, but I didn't find nothing. Also the support is for people who search for support and not for people who want to support Gentoo. That's not the point of my mail at all, but possibly there should be some (better placed) information about this subject? O.K., I want to describe my person a little bit. Sincerely I come from Poland and live in Germany now. I speak Polish, German and English. I am 20 years old and studying computer science at the University of Bremen. I'm in the middle of my studies now. I use Gentoo since a lot of years (I forgot the exact date), before Gentoo I used a self-made distribution based on LFS. I can write applications in C(++), Java and PHP. Personally I write rather end-user applications, but during my studies I also had exercises like write your own file system (O.K., it was FAT12 ;), write your own memory management etc. So basic knowledge about operating systems should also be there. My knowledge in XHTML and CSS is also good, because it's my job for more than five years. I think this should be enough for a first profile. I can tell more, if somebody wants to know more. Can anybody tell me how can I help? Is my help needed or should I rather participate somewhere else? Greets, Rafael Bugajewski pgpvETf3KM9FF.pgp Description: PGP signature

I read some stuff and now I know that the first step is helping out. So I will translate some existing documentation into german. I could start writing everything in german into a plain text file, but I don't think it's a good idea. In my opinion it would be better if I could write the XML files directly and submit it to Bugzilla for approval. But where can I get a needed XML structure, example or at least description?

Greets, Rafael Bugajewski Hi Rafael, Thanks for your offer. German translations are handled by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and Polish ones by [EMAIL PROTECTED] btw). FYI, we also have a staffing needs page linked from our home page: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/staffing-needs/ Please use our gentoo-doc@gentoo.org mailing list for anything regarding documentation or translations. You can also find us on #gentoo-doc on freenode. Besides, you'll find useful documentation at http://gdp.gentoo.org/ Cheers, -- / Xavier Neys \_ Gentoo Documentation Project / /\ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Greets, Rafael Bugajewski Hi Rafael, the german doc team uses a CVS repository at gentoo.de to coordinate work. The webserver at that domainname also has lots of information for helping with translations. You can see our current status here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~grahl/trads-de.html Let me know (on- or off-list) what you'd like to help out with and we'll get you set up :-) All the best, Hendrik pgpfcO7TUBLCS.pgp Description: PGP signature

[...] a lot of very, very useful information [...] At first I want to thank you all for the really good information provided. I already read a big part of the resources given and it really helps me, so I'll get closer to gentoo development (and documentation). During this week I will look at things which I think I want to translate and give a sign; I will also read some more stuff which will hopefully improve the quality of my translations. I just wanted to say: THANKS! :) pgpj6eh8nKwrj.pgp Description: PGP signature
