- <p>
- This document aims to provide information on how one can get
- involved and help out with the Gentoo Scientific Project.
- Scientific packages are very diverse and many of us want our
- pet application in the main tree for easy installation. Due to
- the small size of our team, we can not implement all of
- them, so we really appreciate any contribution.
- </p>
- <p>
- There are few obvious areas where one can help as we
- describe below. The Scientific Project tends to set strong
- requirements on testing, especially on core packages.
- Comments, thoughts, and feedback is greatly welcomed!

- <title>Reporting</title>
- <body>
- <p>
- All good software has bugs. They are too many combinations of
- compilers, USE flags and versions to test them all. So if
- you find the time to report them, we would love to hear
- about it. We have the standard bugzilla system for
- this. Don't be afraid of all these fields to fill in, it's
- not that bad!

- <title>Resolving</title>
- <body>
- <p>
- The Scientific Team in Gentoo has always had a high number of
- bugs. Fortunately, many of them are new packages. Any help in resolving
- issues, improving submitted ebuilds is greatly appreciated.

- <title>Writing ebuilds</title>
- <section>
- <body>
- <p>
- You don't see your application in the main tree or in the
- overlays and you don't want to wait for someone else to
- create the ebuilds? The most obvious solution is to develop
- your own ebuilds. If you do so, it's always nice to share
- them. You can post them to our bugzilla system and then one
- of our devs will comment out. The <uri link="http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise">sunrise
- overlay</uri> allows you more directly to commit your
- ebuilds if you don't want to wait for science access.

- Meet some of us in #gentoo-science. It is a fairly quiet
- channel, but slowly growing and we are responsive. We can
- answer your questions, help you developing your ebuilds,
- share ideas, etc...

- <p>
- If you feel your questions are more private and don't need
- to be known from the rest of the world, you can always
- directly send an email to our developers
- listed <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/proj/science/index.xml">here</uri>
- and the listed sub-projects. If you want to mail all of us, send a mail to the herd.

- <title>Writing Documentation</title>
- <body>
- <section>
- <p>
- You may not be interested in fixing ebuilds and testing
- packages, but want to share your knowledge about some
- software, configuration or tips and tricks. The best way to
- do this is to write some documentation. You can even write
- official Gentoo documentation such as our
- <uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/proj/science/blas-lapack.xml">blas/lapack
- guide</uri>.
