This means I want to see your contributions on one area first. That's a 
more valuable contribution than doing a bit here and another there.

There is no limitations here, but please try to understand that the 
right way to build trust amongst the community is to start small.

As I've said before, all contributions are welcome, thus: welcome to the 
community.

(With teams we have a contributions first, membership then -policy. 
Don't worry about that too much. If you contribute, you will sooner or 
later get the memberships and eventually, a possible Xubuntu team 
membership. To read more about this policy, look into our Strategy 
Document [1].)
