That is outstanding news, indeed :) During the next week I will be continuing my work on a "Contribute to Ubuntu Studio" wiki page so that will hopefully be a repository of tasks needing to be done. But I can tell you some of the big items we are working on currently. We have several big items we are working on: * building, submitting to REVU, and getting approved the -lowlatency kernel so we can use it by default in the image * transitioning from the alternate installation image to a live dvd * also transition to Edubuntu's method of selection software during installation (GUI equivalent of alternate's tasksel) And then we have some more mundane tasks: * updating the lightdm theme (probably stealing what ubuntu has done) * updating the theme (very similar to what xubuntu has done) * updating the documentation found in help.ubuntu.com * updating the current website (lot's of people already working on this one though) I'm excited that you want to help Ubuntu Studio and look forward to hearing back from you :) ScottL
