[Vala] new to the list

[alberto colombo <a colombo kingston ac uk>]

Hello,

I had been aware of Vala for quite some time, but the recent
developments sparked my interest and I decided to join the list. 

I am working in the field of computer vision / video analysis, and I
think that Vala is a perfect fit for signal processing and scientific
computing in general. The simplicity of a memory-managed language with
the performance of C could be a killer in this sector.

I would like to contribute, but even though I am a long-time linux user,
and (hopefully) a decent programmer, I have no experience in compilers
and programming languages. How could I best contribute? Shall I go
through the bug list and triage them?

Thanks, and congratulations for a great language!

decide to dive in :-)
