==What advice would you give to those who wish to learn Madagascar or to contribute to it?==
I think that a lot of people, who get introduced to Madagascar, fairly quickly learn that it has its own limitations in the area of basic processing and productivity tools. The common reaction seems to be to find a quick (and often inconvenient) workaround and then spend all available time writing another batch of user-specific computational applications. I would recommend not to shy away from spending some time on expanding and improving the base toolkit too.
