I’m excited to read your email. It is wonderful when users of Debian want to contribute to the project. That’s how I got started. I would recommend that you start by looking for some aspect of Debian that you use that needs some help. For example, there may be a package that is lagging behind the upstream releases. Or, there may be some documentation on the a Debian website that needs to be improved. Or a translation that needs help. In the case of a package, you can contact the current maintainers and ask if they would like some help. Having someone to guide you is a good way to get started. If the current maintainers are not responsive (orphaned or needing to be adopted), ask on this list for assistance with the package. In the case of websites, many of them are Wikis, so you can get started improving them by just creating an account. In general, I have found that working on Debian is most fulfilling when I am improving some aspect that I actively use myself. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
