We of course would love new ebuilds, but more importantly we need people who are going to test ebuilds and refine them until they are working perfectly and who will take a personal interest in the quality of Gentoo Linux rather than simply posting ebuilds. So, if this sounds like you, then we'd love to have you aboard. First, submit a couple of new ebuilds so that we can see that you know how to use the Portage system, and then we can look into giving you cvs access.
