68.215.137.6:

uberpenguin (sometimes spelled <nowiki>überpenguin</nowiki>, which isn't supposed to be German as he explains, but has something to do with his affinity for the umlaut) is difficult to classify. Not really a developer, but more of an 'official bystander' to the *mule saga. uberpenguin has had this vague relationship since the lMule days (pre-xMule, pre-aMule). Contrary to common impression, he has never actually contributed a single line of code to any of the *mule main sources (the official word is he hates high-level language programming, but it's really just an excuse) As useless as he seems, uberpenguin is actually responsible for the original xMule logo, the [http://uberpenguin.they-are.us/temp/amule_newlogo_dark_notextfuzz.jpg aMule 2.0 logo], several pieces of artwork related to *mule, and AMPS (the dynamic statistics PHP script that will be much more relevent when aMule 2.0 is released).

uberpenguin (who, if you haven't noticed, hates having his alias capitalized) has an Interwebsite [http://uberpenguin.they-are.us/ here] and can be contacted through the various mediums described on that site, etc, etc. uberpenguin is probably non-existant.

== The aMule Project ==
The aMule project is led by a bunch in people who toil away in front of their computers, so that you can enjoy a stable and featureful P2P client.
This page is about us.

== The Team ==
These are the people who works on aMule:

=== Developers ===

* [[User:deltaHF|deltaHF]]: Webmaster and Admin
* [[User:Jacobo221|Jacobo221]]: Our man-for-all
* [[User:Kry|Kry]]: Main developer and Admin
* [[User:lfroen|lfroen]]: Core/GUI dedicated guy.
* [[User:Madcat|Madcat]]: [Retired]
* [[User:Phoenix|Phoenix]]: Code janitor junior.
* [[User:shakraw|shakraw]]: [[aMuleWeb]] mantainer
* [[User:thepolish|thepolish]]: [[aMule]] [[FAQ_utils|tools]] coder
* [[User:Unleashed|Unleashed]]: Sometimes around ;)

=== Testers ===

=== Others ===

=== Former Team-members ===
These are people who have worked on [[aMule]] in the past.
Please note that this list doesn't include the people from before [[aMule]] forked off from [[xMule]], nor does it include people from the [[LMule]] days. If you wish to learn more about those, please visit the websites of those projects.

==== Testers ====

==== Others ====
* [[User:uberpenguin|uberpenguin]]: uberpenguin is extremely difficult to classify... Let us call him the 'official bystander to *mule.'

== Helping ==
We can always use another helping hand, and if you are interested, then I'd encourage you to contact us and see if you can help us. Currently, what we need the most is developers and testers, though also translators and others.

=== Becoming a Developer ===
To become a [[aMule]] Developer (tm), you'll need at the very least a working knowledge of C++, since that is the language in which [[aMule]] is written. You'll also need to learn about the GUI toolkit used by [[aMule]]: [[wxWidgets]].

However, we do not require that you are an expert, only that you are willing to help and willing to learn.

If you are interested, then simply drop by on [[IRC]] and let us know. Currently we use a private [http://www.gnu.org/software/cvs CVS] server, but after you've submitted a patch or two you can easily get r/w access to it.

We can use your skills if you are using one of the platforms where we aim at being usable on: Unix, [http://www.sun.com/solaris Solaris], [http://www.apple.com Macs] and [http://www.microsoft.com/windows Windows].
And if your operating system of choice isn't on that list, then maybe you can help add it.

=== Becoming a Tester ===
We need people who are willing to create complete bug-reports, as the standard is pretty low regarding user reports. This is rather simple, but takes patience. Please contact us on [[IRC]] for more information and read [[Backtraces|this guide on creating useful backtraces]].

=== Becoming a Translator ===
[[aMule]] already includes translations for a number of languages, however, we'll always welcome more, and even if your language of choice has been done already, then perhaps you can help improve it. Please see the [http://forum.amule.org/board.php?boardid=40 Translations] forum for more information, or contact us on [[IRC]].
