A lot. GNOME is in constant development, with new versions coming every 6 months. This requires lots of work over a short period of time, and extra hands are welcome.
We’re always in need of people who can
Build packages
Write build scripts
Test unreleased packages
Work on the installer, and new ways to distribute dropline.
Whats the best way to get involved?
dropline GNOME is a community project. It’s kept alive by its users. The best way to get involved with dropline, is to post in the forums, join the development mailing list and drop by #dropline on freenode.
How much time is left to get involved before the next update?
dropline GNOME 2.28.x is expected to be released in November of 2009.
