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

that whether someone has previous experience or has
nothing, he/she must go through one and only process and
there is no exceptions :)</div>

Just to make it clear, of course your background makes a difference.
That decides what kind of tasks we can assign to you and what kind
of tasks we can expect you to deliver.<br>
<br>
However, it's the social aspect of a community where you need to
build trust and confidence. In this respect all new contributors are
on the same line and do need to go through the same processes. This
combined with the fact that all kinds of skills are needed on the
team keeps everybody equal, whatever their background – and that's
something for the open source projects to celebrate.<br>

<div style="">I am not sure why the procedure is strict but
I totally respect that. I guess, I need to learn and

worry about that too much. If you contribute, you will
