I have to agree with Mattheiu that we are always happy to get reports
from people on a different platform. We *do* want it to work everywhere.

We are more than happy to have you around. What pieces of the puzzle are
you interested in? If you are just looking for something to play with,
feel free to email me, or join us on irc.freenode.net channel #bzr. I'll
be happy to give you some direction.

There is always the TODO file in source. Though most of our real
tracking is done through the bug tracker:
https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+bugs

But there is a lot of info there, so I'm happy to simplify it a bit to
make it easy for you to get started.
