To be able to work on catalyst, you first must be running and using gentoo linux and be familiar with it. Gentoo's package management tools are central to running and using catalyst to build various output media. If you are not already using gentoo, you best get a partition free and install it asap. Become familiar with it. tools to be familiar with: portage and it's cli tools, emerge, emaint, portageq gentoolkit's equery, eclean You must be familiar with using the above tools and solving build problems and package installation failures. Then start trying to use catalyst to generate some targets. This is all information that will need for you to succeed in your project proposal. > 2. Participate in our development community. > 3.
