Zia. The best thing if you are thinking about joining the team is to:
a) Figure out what area you want to help out in.
b) Try to upload a portfolio of your work so we can see
c) Be proactive. This means taking an interest in the area you want to help out in a start some basic work there. Like creating some simple stories or picutres ( I have no idea what your talent is. )
d) hang out in irc and try to discuss some of the areas that you are interested in.
But be warned. it\'s not always easy or fun ( though, there are lots of fun times ). There is a lot of serious work and we expect all members of the team to be very active ( though quality is much better then quantity ).
