Want to help?
If you want to help us with improving Gentoo's VDR experience, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us at [mailto:vdr@gentoo.org vdr@gentoo.org]. Please also join us in #gentoo-vdr on irc.freenode.org. You need not be a developer to be able to help us.

We need help in these ranges:
