There maybe needs to be a community leizon of some sort to help leverage these types of offers for help. Many of us are willing to help, but certainly don't have the necessary time cycles to do so as effectively as some of the rest of the core team. If there was a way to make jumping in and helping out with a few mundane tasks or throwing spare CPU cycles at tasks I think a lot of the "weekend warriors" could be more effectively leveraged.
Excellent suggestion! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to contribute but quite obvious lack the skills to do anything really advanced.
There was a somewhat similar in spirit thread on CentOS forum about PHP5.2 and somebody mentioned things are slow because none of us are willing to help test. When I saw it, the only thing came to mind was "How?"
So if it's possible, I'd be more than happy to throw in spare CPU cycles to help compile some binaries or run automated tests etc!
