Thanks,

I have been through the blog post at
http://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2013/07/14/systemd-how-to-help.html

(a minor suggestion) Can you update and move that blog post to
https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/HowToHelp ? It would help reduce the
learning curve for newbies like me if the information was
consolidated. I'll be will to help with that once I have a better
understanding of all the moving pieces.

Could you suggest a few (5-10) packages which you would consider
trivial for a newbie like me to add systemd support. I have spent some
time reviewing packages on the systemd dashboard and looked at how
fedora implemented the .service file .
