[CS-FSLUG] Project help

[Ed Hurst]

Awhile back, Nathan mentioned a fork of the GNOME Project, called 
GoneME. I checked it out, and decided to pitch in with my writing 
skills. I ran a test writeup on my blog, and got lots of good comments. 
Tim wrote an article that responded to the project itself, and I wrote a 
response to that. I believe we have yet one more article in the pipe to 
post on Ofb.

Lots of folks rejoice at the idea, and there's a handful of coders at 
work on patches. There's some discussion of what they do and don't want 
to patch or change. Sometimes I even understand it. :-) My only real 
interest is the chance to work on a project that will use me. Trying to 
give back to the FOSS community, you know.

You don't have to love the ideas they promote to enjoy that sort of 
thing. There's lots to do that requires no coding. I'm not trying to 
sell the project, but I would like to mention that if want a chance to 
help on something new, there's plenty of opportunity. Poor Ali, the 
"founder" has been saddled with every admin task there is, and he has no 
time for coding. If you take a notion you'd like to volunteer for 
something, I'll be glad to pass your name along.
