I also would be interested in getting involved in this project. I believe
there is much room to grow in the area of gaming, and since I am an avid
gamer myself using both "Free" and "Non-Free" games on my Debian systems I
would love to help out where I can.

I also would be interested in getting involved in this project. I
believe there is much room to grow in the area of gaming, and since I
am an avid gamer myself using both "Free" and "Non-Free" games on \
my Debian systems I would love to help out where I can.<br>
