  There's a couple of things you could do:
  
  (1) Come and chat with us on IRC, we're hanging out on #f-spot on irc.gnome.org and we're really friendly (we promise not to bite). Keep in mind that we have lives too: if nobody answers, hang in there for a while, we'll answer at some point.
  
  (2) Send a mail to our mailing-list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
  
  (3) Dive in! Find your pet peeve, download the source and fix it. Just ask us for help if you're stuck.
