You can subscribe to our alioth list which is more or less a consolidated PTS subscription (some packages have the list as maintainer). Most platform packages (== core libs) are in very good shape, core desktop apps more or less so, satellite apps / helpers not very much. You can checkout our SVN repository which has official desktop + platform + bindings + admin upstream modules below desktop/unstable and /experimental and the rest misc gnome.org or gnome-ish modules below packages/unstable and /experimental. Quite typical svn-bp usage in mergeWithUpstream mode. Tasks to help with are generally: - bug triaging and forwarding (lots of help needed) - new upstream versions packaging, giving priority to stable and platform as I explained - bug squashing, package cleanups... We hang out on #gnome-debian on GIMPNet (irc.gimp.org) as most upstreams are on that network. Please send a couple of patches against SVN for review if possible. Thanks! -- Loïc Minier
