 You can subscribe to our alioth list which is more or less a
 consolidated PTS subscription (some packages have the list as
 maintainer).

 Most platform packages (== core libs) are in very good shape, core
 desktop apps more or less so, satellite apps / helpers not very much.

 You can checkout our SVN repository which has official desktop +
 platform + bindings + admin upstream modules below desktop/unstable and
 /experimental and the rest misc gnome.org or gnome-ish modules below
 packages/unstable and /experimental.

 Quite typical svn-bp usage in mergeWithUpstream mode.

 Tasks to help with are generally:
 - bug triaging and forwarding (lots of help needed)
 - new upstream versions packaging, giving priority to stable and
   platform as I explained
 - bug squashing, package cleanups...

 We hang out on #gnome-debian on GIMPNet (irc.gimp.org) as most
 upstreams are on that network.

 Please send a couple of patches against SVN for review if possible.

   Thanks!
