My sincerest apologies for the late response. Your email gave me a huge
smile just like the ones from the other people who have stepped forward
lately. :) THANK YOU! <3 Your contributions, however small or big are
most welcome!

The wiki needs and diserves a lot of work. This would be a great place
to begin contributing. I'll see what i can do to accelerate you getting
edit permission. I would just need you to sign the Code of conduct of
ubuntu before i go ahead with that.

For the part with the bugs, i'm not very good at how it works... I used
to know more, but i've kindof lost it. Hoping someone can fill in for me
here.... We used to have a contributor with a lot of experience about
it, but who prefers communicating over IRC. If you are familiar with
that communication protocol, try your luck and see if Krytarik is around
in #ubuntustudio-devel. Oven Werks is very good at it too.

I don't know how available they are atm though, and we have to respect
it if they are busy: life is what it is. And everyone involved is doing
it out of pure generosity.

Either way, once again, THANK you for stepping forward <3
