Tunes Membership Policy

[David Scott Williams, web]

I am a self-taught programmer, and I am just finishing pushing
Dustyscript 1.0 (http://dustyscript.sourceforge.net/) out the door.  

I will have some time to dedicate.  I do some Perl, PHP, Java
mainly, some C/C++ (currently teaching myself)...

I have never done x86 assembler, but am willing to give it a go...

Where do I start?

policy of

others:
>
>1) Members must be on the developers' main mailing list, and any
number of

this list,
>tunes@tunes.org, a defining criteria. If the list administrator
>garbage-collects the address of a member with no new address to
substitute
>or a voluntary notification of absence, that member is expelled
(at least
>noted inactive in our listing of members).
>
>2) Members must have contributed something deemed helpful by a
subproject
>coordinator. This can include a set of reviews, a documentation of a
>useful concept, or code which is accepted into Tunes
repositories by one
>of the subproject coordinators.
>
><end>
>
>These two principles together eliminate two-thirds of the Tunes
membership
>list, and probably the correct proportion and partition of them
as well.

>Are there any objections, additions, or other kinds of
suggestions for me
>in this? If there's a contention, we'll just put it to a vote.
