[ros-dev] Interest in ReactOS and some requets

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi and welcome,

thanks for your offer to help - we were just discussing today in the  
irc-channel that there are some people in our current team who are  
willing to guide newbies through the process (get src code, build,  
run, modify something, try writing something new, send in patches, etc).

If you have ability, please join #reactos on freenode irc network. If  
not, then email is allright (ask questions right here, so other can  
read and learn too).



WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
