Hi Anthony,

I was in a similar situation to you just a few months ago: an experienced 
programmer who had never used 
Linux/CVS/cervisia/RPM/IRC/gcc/libtool/automake/autoconf but who wanted to 
help. The good news is that I *still* don't understand some of these (no 
heckling from the back there, Werner!), but it does not stop me 
contributing.

Now, I *have* screwed the CVS a couple of times. But, I am learning. I am 
contributing. I am having fun. So, I say "Go for it!" - hang around the 
mailing lists for a couple of weeks to get an idea of what is going on, and 
then just get stuck in to the code. When you have particular problem with 
builds etc. just ask. It is always good if you have thought a bit before 
asking, but that is not always enough to produce an answer.

I look forward to your contributions to KDE and KOffice...

Thanks, Shaheed
