Ok, then here we go, you asked for it...

What's this #mageia-mentoring, IRC stuff? Is there a mentoring mailing 
list instead, like on gmane or so?

I am a complete incompetent in terms of packaging, but I know how to 
download a source.tar.gz and compile it the right way.
Under mandriva I am using a lot of scientific libs, like fftw, lapack, 
blas, and fvwm2 is my computing life; that I used to compile from 
sources too.
So I am happy to help in any of those if my contribution can be used 
somehow. I am quite unreliable too in terms of freetime as it may happen 
that I am becoming very busy sometimes.

cheers,
Chris.
