Hello, I'm a web developer and sysadmin, found your project some time ago, gave it a try and liked the "elite/frontier" feel it had, left it aside for months, then I started wanting to help you guys bring this forward.

I know HTML, PHP, SQL, JS, Java, C, Pascal, shell scripting, Perl, Python, Lua, I know my way around code of all kinds, I've been messing around projects of all kinds, but it's the first time I reach out to contribute to an open source project.

Please be kind with me when I don't know how you FOSS people deal with something, I've probably been interacting with the "proprietary software" mindset a bit too much.

Oh yes, I'm italian, I love space sims, I love sci-fi, and I loved Elite, Frontier: Elite II and (albeit a little less) Frontier: First encounters.

So, hello everyone.

Hi and welcome!

That's quite a skill set you have there.

You can find some ideas, and important links, here Wiki:How_you_can_contribute, and since you've already fixed two of our bugs, perhaps you should hunt through our tracker and see what features, bugs, code improvements you want to work on, if you don't have any project or idea of your own you want to implement.

Don't worry, no fighting or rudeness here. The day people start arguing and fighting here is the day I'll leave (if I can't ban them). We do not, thankfully, use the language they do over in the linux kernel mailing list.
