We offer manys way to collaborate and the only real requirement is that people are able to read documentation and improve their knowledge. You can: * look for bugs and file them against packages * work on ebuilds that are not already in the tree and attach them to bug reports * alternatively contribute to the official user overlay sunrise, either in IRC, or on github/bitbucket mirrors * alternatively contribute directly to some herd overlays such as "science" or "haskell" (both hosted on github) * help out people with ebuild writing in #gentoo-dev-help, #gentoo-sunrise or just help users in #gentoo or on gentoo-user ML figuring out their daily gentoo problems * make techincal/political suggestions on the appropriate mailing lists * write a GLEP (everyone can) * find a mentor and become a gentoo developer Everyone can improve gentoo, just do it.
