Re: Pingus Wiki set up for use

[Jason Green]

I've asked him a few very basic questions on IRC and he was helpful and 
pointed me in the right direction.  At one point, I asked, "What can I 
do to help?", and he replied "Fix it and submit a patch".  :-)  I'm 
actually at a point where 0.7.0 runs and compiles in Windows (for the 
most part) with MinGW, and I can start the real coding finally.  
Hopefully my patches work and will spark some more active development on 
what is already a great game.  I'll wait until I can prove to myself 
that I understand the whole codebase before asking for SVN commit 
access.  I need to get a recent version of Linux installed on another 
machine so I can test everything on it as well.  I currently have a very 
broken dual-boot into FC3 setup, but it's ugly and yum isn't working 
correctly anymore.  Time for a reinstall.  Anyway, thanks for the quick 
responses!
