I'd like to point out to would-be contributors that before I started
working on our issues with deploying OpenVMS Samba here at Dymaxion, I
knew absolutely nothing about the topic.  I have not received formal
training in either the inner workings of filesystems or networking.  All
I had going for me was a desire to explore, and some guesses at how to
devise tests that would narrow down the problem and make it reproducible
for the developers.  So, don't think you can't contribute anything
because you're lacking in expertise specific to the field.

Help is needed at all levels of expertise.

A message was posted recently that someone is restarting up a "newsletter" to
summarize information on the various SAMBA mailing lists, and they need one
or more volunteers to summarize stuff from the SAMBA-VMS list.

The SAMBA-VMS FAQ is out of date.

Quick start and initial setup test instructions with a VMS flavor.

Scripting work to get the HTML documentation to be readable from a VMS based
browser.

People that can come up with tests that can diagnose problems, or qualify
a SAMBA release.
