My main goals initially are maintaining [community] packages which includes fixing bugs in those packages, and maintaining the integrity of the AUR, for instance, looking over PKGBUILDs submitted to the AUR and responding to comments made in aur-general.
I'm mainly interested in science/math/unix-philosophy packages. Although there aren't many of those that are orphans in the community repos right now. I could also maintain other orphans, most notably the outdated ones, in community for some time just to update and tidy them up.
I am not necessarily that interested in developing the web site, although if there are any outstanding problems I can certainly take a look at the problems.
P.S. If you think grass is bad, you should see sage-mathematics!!! :P
well, sage-mathematics is not a package, it is a distribution (btw, do you know scilab?). Some years ago I asked on this list if it should go to community, and the short discussion ended in the conclusion, that it should not. But I am fine with disussing it again.
I wish you good luck for your application.

I guess you could call it a distribution which puts a lot of tools under a common interface because that's basically what it is. Afaik, the programs that come with it are isolated to the package. Too bad it wont make it to community then, since I was hoping to spare a lot of compilation time for people :P With regard to scilab, I haven't used it myself, but it certainly looks interesting. I'll take a look at it later today.
