Absolutely. The resources we have for the team so far is
available on Alioth [0] (project, mailing lists, repositories) and
somewhat on the wiki [1] (needs work though).

The process for working with the team repository is briefly
explained in a recent post to this list. [2]


In short what you need to do in order to adopt abiword and
put it under Debian Junior team maintainence is:

* Adopt the package for the team in the Debian BTS
  (set owner to [email protected]
   and retitle from O: abiword ... to ITA: abiword ...).
* Join the debianjr project on alioth.
* Move the packaging git repository from collab-maint to
  debianjr.
* Alter the package to reflect the adoptation (set Maintainer
   Vcs fields etc).
* Solve bugs filed against abiword.
* RFS (Request For Sponsorship) on the list (i.e. ask for a
  Debian Developer in the team to upload your changes.)
* Bonus point for adding the repository to the debianjr
  master repository mrconfig. ;-)

Of course the package needs to build in a clean environment
and also be lintian clean. This process is nicely documented
at both Ruby and Games teams' wiki pages. [3,4]


Let us know if you need any help along the way!
