Hi, sorry for missing this.

I can't say it's easy to become a member of the VSTF. Very very few people are added there. It takes a high level of wiki-knowledge, including knowledge of how wiki communites work, and some knowledge of other systems like IRC and maybe regular expressions. Then it takes time building up a high level of trust with staff, so that we feel comfortable giving access to tools and information that are usually hidden. So that means being very involved in places where staff spend time - here, and in CC chat for example

It's a big commitment, and takes a lot of time and effort to build up your knowledge and reputation enough to be considered.
