| There are many ways you can contribute to the Joomla! project. Even if you are not a developer, no matter what your skills, there is always some way you can help the project. Here are some suggestions to get you started:
| | #REDIRECT [[Portal:Participating in the Community]] |
| ; Code
| |
| : If you are a developer then the best way to get started is to fix bugs and submit patches. Contact [mailto:wilco.jansen@joomla.org Wilco Jansen] who will point you in the right direction.
| |
| | |
| ; Documentation
| |
| : The English documentation is maintained on this wiki and you only need to [http://docs.joomla.org/Special:Userlogin register] to be automatically granted write access. A good place to start is the [[Cookie jar]].
| |
| | |
| ; Forum Support Boards
| |
| : The [http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=513 Joomla! User Support] boards on the forum is a great place to help other users out who are experiencing difficulty. There's plenty of questions to go around and help is always needed.
| |
| | |
| ; Testing
| |
| : You don't need to be a developer to get involved in the development of Joomla! We need people to test the code and report bugs or other issues. Any user can get involved in this process. Contact the Joomla! [[Bug Squad]] if you'd like to get involved.
| |
| | |
| ; Translations
| |
| : To help with language packs, or translations of the help screens or other documentation, then contact your local translation team. If there is currently no translation for you language then please consider starting one. Contact [mailto:ole.ottosen@joomla.org Ole Ottosen] who will help you to get started.
| |
| | |
| ; Events
| |
| : There are regular local Joomla! events in many countries but if there isn't one in your country then why not organise one? Contact [mailto:alex.kempkens@joomla.org Alex Kempkens] is you'd like to do this. If there is already a Joomla! event, such as a Joomla!Day, being organised, then why not see if you can help out? Contact the event organiser, or ask [mailto:alex.kempkens@joomla.org Alex Kempkens] to put you in touch with the organisers. A good way to start is to offer to assist with the event on the day as organisers are often looking for people who will help keep things running smoothly.
| |
| | |
| ; Sites
| |
| : We are always looking for people who can help us maintain various aspects of our official websites. Contact one of the Joomla! project managers if you'd like to get involved with this work.
| |
| | |
| ; Donations
| |
| : Time is our most precious commodity, so contributing your time is usually the most valuable thing you can do, but monetary donations are also welcome! Donations help us with infrastructure costs and enable us to help with community events. Contact [mailto:michelle.bisson@joomla.org Michelle Bisson] if you'd like to donate a large sum, but smaller sums can be donated using this link in the top right corner of most of our websites.
