Thanks for the prompt reply. lol on me for thinking those lists aren't that active :-) proven otherwise now ;) still i did visit the site mentioned in your reply.Will take a second look at it again. it would have helped a lot if launchpad featured a category where extras or miscellaneous people like me who find it difficult to decide to join under a particular category. Speaking with respect to <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter</a> how can u help color coded sections. Those even are just highlighted words with no links regarding how to join or links relating to the actual topic. After lot of clicking did i mange to find this devel lists( though i dont regret finding this now :-) ) I just hope contributing became lot easier so that ubuntu as a whole can grow more rapidly. also i hope u saw a brainstorm link i gave searching deeper in launchpad found some ideas in my brainstorm link have been reported as bugs and are in development. -thanks <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 7:47 PM, Michael Vogt <<a href="mailto:mvo@ubuntu.com">mvo@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Hi! <div class="im"> On Sun, Dec 04, 2011 at 12:14:47AM +0530, joy chalissery wrote: > here is the link where is gave something in writing > <a href="http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28923/" target="_blank">http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28923/</a> > please do read the comments following the idea > admin talked about getting involved with development team. </div>Thanks for your interesst in improving the software-center! <div class="im"> > I am not a programmer of expert level but would like to give some > suggestions . > Saw about the teams and categories. > But no where there was a team which took in suggestions may be about a > single software in bulk. > i can do art,bit of programming, but more importantly give suggestion on > improving which can be easily > acted upon by developers. > > So the question is which team to join/ location of a suggestion box ? where > i could contribute to ubuntu. </div>There are various way to approach the software-center team, check <a href="http://launchpad.net/software-center" target="_blank">http://launchpad.net/software-center</a>, it links to the spec that has a subsection about how to contribute. We are keen to hear your ideas and we always welcome help! In addition to suggestions, the best is probably to start hacking at the source code, even if you are not a expert programmer. We are happy to help you getting started, there is the software-store-developers mailing list and the #software-center irc channel where we hang out and can help. The scarce resource for us is people working on the implementation of all the great ideas that are floating around. So every bit helps! Thanks, Michael </blockquote></div> -- -- joy
