MacPorts lacks a few contributers, I think. Actually, they welcome people willing to contribute and give commit rights liberally, when you're interested. The documentation on how you should apply to join sounds more buraucratic then it feel

About 4 years ago I finally (it seems) stopped smoking, and my wife (then girlfriend) as well. Before that I was a smoker for about 12 years or so. In the last 6-7 years before realy quitting I was more or less constantly in the process of
