It has issues as well. There are a limited number of sponsors for packaging and they are pretty busy. You really need to be proactive about asking for help, mentors don't typically do a lot of review of your stuff after your first submission. We have also switched to trying to let people start by comaintaining packages, rather than doing new submissions in order to let people start by working on something they care about rather than having to find something new to add to Fedora. Infrastructure as has issues recruiting and maintaining people. It's another area where you really need to be self motivated to really integrate with the team. They also have issues with mentors not wanting to spend lots of time on new people because they are currently busy with Fedora Infrastructure work and the retention rate for new infrastructure volunteers is pretty low. For people that want to update the wiki, the bar is very low. But you still need to go out and seek stuff to do, rather than wait for people to tell you what to do. The design team tries pretty hard to post things that are good for new contributors to work on and they tend to be a pretty colabrative group so feedback is part of the normal process in that SIG. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
