So great to know that. Looks like we will have someone so eager to learn
and go the extra miles ;)

Right, I forgot you told me that you can't test now but later. And, you are
ready for Doc and Wiki Stuff and/or Translation :D
Okay, I am doing some final touches here and there and there is something
you will sure like but you need to wait a little bit ;)

volunteers :D NONE is getting paid here as far as I know ;)

I've been there. I've got the scar :D
Launchpad and signing the CoC for the first time is pain in the neck. But,
trust me, later, you will guide someone new to that process :)
The good news is: you need to sign that ONCE so you may need to have some
headache for a short while but then, you are headache free.

If you are stuck somewhere or to put that right, I do recommend to read
that page because usually, any Wiki Page has been found to help everyone at
something specific so I suggest to read it :)

here.
