contribution to projects in Garage

Hi,
I'm new to Maemo and wanted to check out if I can contribute to an existing
project in the Maemo Garage before I try contributing source code on my own.
When I checked out the "Project Openings" tab on the Garage, there were no
openings for developers.

I'd like to know how I can find out which projects are open to developers
joining and contributing. One option would be to send "Request to Join", but
a lot of projects seem to be code that is already mature and may not need
contributions. Can someone please help me out here?

Thanks!
Reshma.

I think there are a lot of people who could need a help. But what is
your back-ground, which is the kind of project to be interested in, in
which kind of work do you think you could help out? I think a good
approach would be to write a bit about this and open a thread in the
developer forum in talk [1]. I'm sure that somebody will come then to
you. If you are familiar with Qt maybe this would be a possibility [2] ;)

As always with open source, the best way is to scratch an own itch -
find a flaw in a program, contact the developers and make a patch.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Qt right now, but I can always change
that :)
