Project:Science/Contributing

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 fulfill every package request, them, so we really appreciate any contribution.

There are few obvious areas where one can help as we describe below. The Gentoo Science Project tends to set strong requirements on testing, especially on core science packages.

Bugs
The Science team has always had a high number of bugs. Fortunately many of them are requests for new packages. Any help in resolving issues, improving submitted ebuilds is greatly appreciated.
