To be involved in the project the suggested way is to go to the forum, read a bit of the latest discussion and then introduce yourself and tell us what would you like to do, or simply offer help for things left behind.

Besides this we are maintaining a todo list in the 'Tasks' link at the top of this sourceforge forum. Once a person is part of the team he/she can take any of the unassigned tasks. Before doing that, expecially the first time, it is required to tell others about this on the forum.

What are we looking for:

  • Documentation editors: this manual is a first version, but has to be reviewed. Grammar or spelling may need to be fixed, or some unclear sentences to be improved or rewritten. We have to make sure that the overall organization is logical and there aren't missing pieces. Having a good manual is very important for the project to succed.
  • Translators: the list of supported language is increasing but it's still quite small, we need help here. Also even if your language is in the list it may need to be reviewed or completed. Being a translator doesn't require technical skills. Even if you just speak English you can help on this by improving messages.
  • Developers: both to implement new features, or to improve/fix existing ones. If you want to start a new module you will have much freedom on it.
