[cAos-devel] My recent spate of commits

[Greg Kurtzer]

Good to meet ya, and I am glad Caos is working out for you so far.

There are lots of places that you can help with. Everything from Wiki  
documentation to testing and packaging, and even application  
development. If you have any special interests feel free to just  
bounce them off of the list to get feedback and assistance if needed.
