Re: How can I contribute?

I agree, helping people is an awesome way to help out. Make a web site, help out on the list, and help on the forums. That's a great way to give back.

If you wanted to do something with programming, do some research on Gnome development or KDE development, or take up a programming language. There are a lot of great, free programming books available on the web. Do a Google search for 'free online programming books'. There's a great web site with hundreds of books. I'm not on my main computer right now, or I'd give you a link to it. But there's a lot of good information out there.
