How can I help?

Hi all, I've recently came upon (read last Saturday) mythtv and have
installed it on two boxes and I"m quite pleased with it. I've have it
running under gentoo and redhat 7.3. What I would like to know is where
can I help. I'm a programmer by proffession. I can help with most
things. I've read that someone is working on a game front end. I was
going to do that but didn't want to duplicate anyones work. What about
conversion from freetype 1 to 2? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Seems to me that conversion to the newer freetype would be a big win -
it's one of the few things I had to manually install (rather than rely on
my distribution supplying it) to get MythTV to work.

You can contribute whatever you want, really.. I _have_ been meaning to
update things to the newer freetype release though, so that could be a good
starting point. The only freetype 1 code is in libs/libNuppelVideo/ttfont.*

CVS access is detailed at:

I like patches as 'diff -u' =)
