Hi Damyan, yes I would be very interested in volunteering. I m a Perl web developer with an urge to help the Debian project.
I would be keen to investigate the cause of the hanging process. I have sysadmin and DBA experience and be worked with MySQL replication extensively so that might be a solution for the database troubles. How do I proceed from here? Thanks -- Sent from phone.
