If you already have reverse engineering experience, you could consider working on one of the external in-development game engines, or even on support for a new game. However, doing this kind of work is very difficult and time-consuming - you would have to convince us that you have the necessary skills to actually be sufficiently productive, probably by demonstrating some actual progress first.

ScummVM offers 8 freeware games for download, but they need to be downloaded and installed manually. It would be great to develop a universal system which would let us descibe a game, e.g. provide screenshots, game descriptions, metadata, and package it for different platforms, so we could put them to different applicaiton distribution systems.
