> How do you want to contribute?

I BETA-test openSUSE distro since 10.0, wrote openSUSE documentation
(Lessons for Lizard), and built few RPMs.
Additionally I donate $ each month to different OSS projects and
beta-test different OSS applications.

Now I'm thinking of way to build _big_ repository, which will contain
lots of packages that openSUSE Factory lacks.

Current model of third-party packages for openSUSE is broken in my opinion.
There are lots of packages across hundreds of Build Service projects,
which is hard to download & navigate.
It is bad idea for deployment - it is only good for experimentation/development.

I have few possible ideas here:
1. Convince community to integrate stable third-party packages into
openSUSE Factory
2. Convince community to make a big, united third-party repository
3. Build third-party repo myself in openSUSE build service
4. Build third-party repo myself in private server

I really believe that #1 is best idea, but due to opposition I don't know.
Perhaps I will need to evaluate other options.

Back to the question:
> How do you want to contribute?
I want to test & maintain third-part packages, that go into openSUSE Factory.

NOTE: I can maintain packages stability wise, but not security wise.
(I'm not security expert)
So for security-related updates, we will need to figure out how is it
possible to provide this for third-party/community packages.
