Join a project. :-) I know that www.ecoaccess.org is about to start a new round of recruitment for volunteers. It is somewhat more structured that many open source projects, so it might be a good first project if you're interested in Python, Zope, PostgreSQL, and/or Triangle-area environmental issues. > the uses of CVS and Sourceforge? For CVS, I found that http://www.red-bean.com/cvsbook/ gave a pretty good introduction. It provided some practical advice for those who are new to CVS or some of its features in addition to plenty of "how to do X." That is, it's more than a manual (like the Per Cederqvist reference, which you'll probably eventually use). For SourceForge, the best way is probably to join a SourceForge project. If you like Perl, Python, and/or C++, I'm responsible for a project that needs help. ---Tom
