review squad app

Thanks for your application, GeekRack! Actually, with your background and interests (particularly in programming), there's no reason why you can't get directly involved with application/hardware development. There are a good number of high school students your age involved (many of whom are good friends of mine - I'm about 5 years older than you), even as part of the volunteer support team and writing applications - see IMSA for one (very active) group of high-school developers, and Test issues for the current testing being done on the core hardware, firmware, and software if you'd like to join in.

The Review Squad tends to be geared towards younger students who don't have programming experience, to get them started learning how to write good bug reports, file tickets, give feedback to developers, etc - we could use people to mentor younger students through this process as well, if you're specifically interested in the Squad.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have, or if I can help you get started in any way.
