Subject: HELP WANTED -- release team for AbiWord

Based on a recent series of discussions, the AbiWord team is looking for
volunteers to help us improve the process of releasing native AbiWord
packages that Just Work on a growing number of platforms:
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/01/August/0401.html
We know that hundreds of thousands of folks use AbiWord, and we'd like to
make sure that many more can enjoy it, too.
If you've enjoyed using AbiWord, but have never found a way to return the
favor and help the AbiWord community, then this just might be your lucky
day. I'll be posting a series of messages today listing a number of roles
we're trying to fill, in the following areas:
- packagers
- testers
- writers
- evangelists
All of these jobs are focused on the days just before a release. We've
tried to define the jobs narrowly enough so that when things are running
smoothly, none of the jobs should take more than a few hours at a time.
However, we *are* looking for people who can commit to doing the same job
for multiple releases.
If none of the jobs sounds appealing to you, or you don't have time for a
recurring commitment, that's OK. Keep an eye out for future POWs and HELP
WANTED messages where we'll describe other ways you could help. Or, if
there's some other way you'd like to help out, let us know.
bottom line
-----------
Please take a close look at each of those roles to see if one of them sounds
like the right fit for you. If so, we'd love to have you join the hundreds
of developers, artists, testers, writers, and translators who've already
contributed to help make AbiWord as cool as it is.
Thanks!
Paul
