Great! Thanks for your message and interest. Yep, there's a lot to do in fact. A somewhat easy task is bug triaging. More demanding task is helping with making SWI-Prolog <-> Python interaction better. Starting 9.2 brach of SWI-Prolog there is support for interaction with Python, but I had no time to prepare it for Debian. Also, there is a task of packaging the latest version of SWI-Prolog, which is 10.0.2 nowadays. You can find more information about Debian packaing at https://www.debian.org/devel/ https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals Probably I'd like to start with debmake-doc, packaging-tutorial, and debian-package-book. These are packaged already, so one can easily install these onto theirs Debian system. For SWI-Prolog the current workflow is git-buildpackage, Debian Salsa (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/swi-prolog), quilt patch style, and debhelper. These are keywords to search for. Cheers! Lev
