Take a look at [0] - it should have plenty of info to help you get
started. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask on this
list or in #ubuntu-motu on freenode. To have a mentor assigned to you,
there is a guide at [1].

To get a new package straight into Ubuntu you should use the REVU
process. There's more info about that at [2]

Sorry to dump a bunch of wiki pages on you, I'm in a bit of a rush :)

Hope that helps,
