Actually, I already have Kopete set up; I sat in the channel for 20 minutes or so on the weekend. WRT to ebuilds, yes, I know of and have glanced at the documentation (both the generic ebuild docs and the specific Java ebuild docs). t's more that I don't have much experience writing them. I looked over the bug list; there isn't anything there that jumps out for me. If anyone has a suggestion for a specific bug, or bugs, I should look at I'll be glad to have; otherwise, I just grab some bug that appeals to me? Thanks. -- Grant McDorman
