+We can always use more help with the Mesa project. Here are some
+specific areas. If you think you can help out, post to the mesa3d-dev
+mailing list.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Windows 98/NT build/driver maintenance and testing (Karl Schultz has been
+ doing a great job of this lately)
+<li>DOS/DJGPP build/driver maintenance and testing
+<li>GGI driver/build maintenance and testing
+<li>GNU autoconfig/libtool maintenance (esp. on non-Linux systems)
+<li>x86, SSE, 3DNow! and SPARC assembly language programming
+<li>Implement WGL font functions in the WGL interface code
+<li>Implement off-screen bitmap rendering support in the WGL interface code
+<li>Help with writing/testing the new NV_fragment_program extension code
+<li>Implement the ARB_vertex/fragment extensions
+<li>Download/compile/test Mesa and report any bugs found
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>
+If you want to help with Mesa, first join the Mesa developer's
+mailing list. Then post a message explaining what you might like
+to help with. The Mesa web page has a list of a few work items
+which you may consider.
+</p>
+
+</p>
+Anyone is welcome to contribute code to the Mesa project, provided you
+agree to the copyright terms of the relevant code. See the COPYRIGHT
+file.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Unfortunately, all the easy work in Mesa was done years ago. Nowadays, the
+work is rather complicated and not suited to beginners.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you're contribution code to the Mesa library itself:
+<p>
+<ol>
+<li>Try to write clean code (uniform indentation, comments, meaningful
+ identifiers, etc). It must be readable and maintainable!
+
+<li>Test your code. On several occations I've incorporated code from
+ users which later turned out to have bugs. Now, I'm pretty hesitant
+ to use code which doesn't look good.
+</ol>
