How does one join the dev team?

Hi,

I was looking around the wiki and did some keyword searches for dev and developer, and I know the wiki talks about becoming TUs.  A recent thread mentioned several times that the devs were swamped.  Is it silly to ask if it's possible to add more devs?

Thank you,
Rob

Generally it's an invite-only process.  AFAIK, we currently don't have any kind of formal application process - I became a dev because I was noticed as being an energetic TU, IIRC.

If you want to become a developer, and you feel you have an impressive 'resume', I suppose you could email Aaron and ask to be inducted - worst that could happen would be he says "try to establish yourself in the community first - become a TU" or something like that.

Hm - forgot about that other thread.  Please continue the discussion in the thread above.  Duplicate thread - closed.
