contributing to the ports collection

[Stuart Matthews]

Hi everyone,

After several years of using FreeBSD, I have decided it is time to start 
contributing my time to the project. I have read through the relevant 
page on freebsd.org and intend to look into contributing in a couple of 
the ways listed there. However, my main interest is contributing a port 
to the ports collection.

Specifically, I want to add WordShell (http://wordshell.net/) to the 
FreeBSD ports collection. I want to install it for myself, and I 
generally don't like using software outside of some sort of software 
manager wherein I can keep everything neatly up-to-date.

How would I get started in adding something to the ports collection?

Thanks,
Stu
