Howdy, I am interested in becoming a TU. I have several packages in the AUR, including magic-wormhole{,-git}, rndsig, libsonic-git, rsgames, etc. My main area of interested, in maintinaing packages as a TU, would be accessibility related items, E.G. orca, speech-dispatcher, espeakup. Before I actually apply, I'd like to get some feedback from an already existing TU, to make sure I have the required skillset, and just get some general pointers. If anyone is willing to help and eventually sponsor me, please contact me off list. Thanks Storm
Looking at things, none of your AUR packages are really candidates for Community. The guideline is 10 votes. So let's look at the accessibility side of things. I was going to suggest contacting the maintainers of the packages you are interested in to see if they would like help, but 2 of the 3 packages you list are in Extra, which TUs don't have access to. This all leaves me confused. The first thing I would suggest is to figure out exactly what you want to do as a TU. Doug
