hi İlim,

thanks for the interest!

we can definitely help from the metalink side of things, although you
will need someone from wget to officially mentor.

we can help with all the testing & things like that. from the wget
side you'd need familiarity with the code & guidance on
implementation.

hope it works out & good luck!
