Well, it's great to have you aboard, then. Generally, there are countless
things that need immediate attention, and if you see something of interest in
the tasks or assignments section of the gnome.org/gdp website, feel free to
contact whoever is involved in that commitment and help out. If you seriously
are interested in UI issues, I recommend you do two things: 1.) join the
gnome-gui-list, where interface issues are discussed, and 2.) become familiar
with the the UI team, which has a website up (which, IMHO, should be moved to
gnome.org), at http://www.jcinteractive.com/gnome-ui/

That would be really great if you'd become like a coordinator between their
efforts an our; we really need to begin to work together. Any other questions,
feel free to ask.
