I'm still trying to get my feet wet in many programming languages widely used by the GNU/FSF community. My goal has always been to contribute something to the FSF community as I have gained a lot of help and support from them, at various times. But to my disappointment, the complexities of the project maintenance systems, and the correlated rules and guidelines for contributing code, thwart me, most of the times in pursuing any further :( What could prove to be a good starting point for newbie linux enthusiastists like me??? Any valuable advices would be greatly appreciated! _z33 -- I love TUX; well... that's an understatement :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
