Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have just received this in users@. At the moment I am
unsure what I can offer.</div>
<div>The website would need a complete redo and I am not sure if
it would be for good.</div>

<div>Hi everyone!<br>
<br>
I have tried to reach out on IRC, but there’s not much
activity there. The website feels a bit outdated as well
(are you still on freenode, or have you moved to
Libera.chat?) and a lot of text in general is in dire
need of updating.<br>
<br>
So, the reason for me writing to this list. I have been
building a few things on my SPARC Solaris 10 machines
and would like to contribute to the OpenCSW project in
some way, I’m not really sure how though. I would love
to be able to contribute a few packages here and there
and wouldn’t mind updating the website if the interest
is there from the rest of you guys. How do I do this?
Who do I contact and how does the process work?<br>
<br>
And thanks for keeping OpenCSW alive, it’s truly a gem
that deserves being kept a live for many, many years to
come.<br>
<br>
<br>
-Theo Knez</div>
