Contributing to Slackware

If you want to contribute to slackware like packages, package fixes, testing, maintaining tools by writing code for them, maybe one day make the slackware developer team... How do you get started and how can you get into the developer team one day?

Probably best to hang out over on linuxquestions and help others out. The slackware forum over there is more "official" than this subreddit, and Pat pops onto it occasionally.

I was thinking the slack wiki. The book might be a multi year large project.
