This is a request for volunteers who can give a hand to Savannah. We
are all volunteers, except for a few tasks performed by the (paid) FSF
sysadmins.

We work remotely. The amount of effort is not as much important as its
regularity :)

The tasks involved span a large spectrum, from user assistance to
backend development - which may but although may not conflict with
your employer's field.

I advice newcomers to start with project submissions analysis as
explained in the Job page, and extend to different tasks as they get
acquainted with the GNU philosophy and the Savannah architecture.

Feel free to have a look at the maintenance wiki at
https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/TasksList
and drop by IRC #savannah on FreeNode.
