[[.:translate/start|Translate]]\\ | ====== How to Contribute ====== |
Translate the source code of Xfce. | Xfce is developed by a small group of hard-working volunteers. There are many ways in which you can contribute to Xfce, all of which are most welcome! |
| |
[[documentation|Documentation]]\\ | ===== Translation ===== |
How to start writing or translate the application manuals on this website. | Applications, manuals, documentation and many other aspects of Xfce are all translated into different languages. Translations are handled in [[https://www.transifex.com/xfce/public|Transifex]], a web-based translation platform. Visit the [[.:translate/start|translation docs]] to get started with translating. |
| |
| ===== Donations ===== |
| If you wish to donate to Xfce, you can do so via [[https://www.bountysource.com/teams/xfce|Xfce’s Bountysource page]]. You can freely donate to the organization itself, or offer a reward to fix a specific bug. Every donation is greatly appreciated, but please remember, this is an open source project that is 100% run by volunteers, no one is implicitly obliged to act upon your requests. |

| ===== Bug Reporting and Testing ===== |
| One of the most useful tasks that we rely on the community for is testing and reporting of bugs. You can report bugs on the [[https://bugzilla.xfce.org/|Xfce Bugzilla site]], the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs|Xfce-bugs mailing list]], or you can ask on our IRC channel [[irc://irc.freenode.net/#xfce|#xfce on Freenode]] for help. Please do not use the forums to report bugs. Before submitting a bug, please try your best to check if it has already been reported. When writing your bug report, try to be as descriptive as possible, but avoid verbosity. Mozilla has a nice guide on [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines|how to write a bug report]]. For more information, refer to [[.:bugs/start|Bug Reporting and Fixing]]. |
| |
| ===== Documentation ===== |
| The [[https://wiki.xfce.org/|Xfce Wiki]] and [[https://docs.xfce.org/|Documentation]] contain many helpful pages that require maintaining and updating with every new release. The wiki is freely available for anyone to edit, refer [[documentation|here]] for information on how to contribute to the documentation. |
