[Bugsquad] How can we grow?

[Jaime Torres]

Hi,

In my case it is very similar to Frank.
I was subscribed to kde-optimize a long time ago (3.1-3.2) (I think I  
should rejoin the list).
I've always wanted to do for kde as much as kde does for me (and now I'm  
completely on gnu/linux/kde).

And when I read the article on the dot and saw how this worked, and had  
the tools to work
(irc client, svn trunk, ....) I joined.

As the current job is quite relaxed, I had plenty of time to do konqueror  
bug triaging, and the rest is history.

Now I'm sending patches for missing man-pages (started by a JJ for  
incluing the version in some kde programs)

But I will in the bug world, as I want my contributions to kde to be  
bugfixing (a not too easy task generally).

Best Regards.
