Asides from picking a new package, I'd recommend joining a team which maintains an existing package. You can do the "fly on the wall" thing on a commit-by-commit basis, and your first contribution can be as simple as spelling correction, as appose to an entire package from scratch. See also the debian-mentors mailing list, where such things are on-topic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
