How can I help?
You do not need to write code, and you do not need permission. Most people on that wall started with one of these.
Test the beta
Run it on a spare machine, or from a stick, and tell us what broke.
Report an issue
A precise bug report is a gift. We treat it like one.
Request a feature
Say what you wish it did. The public roadmap is built out of these.
Write code for the system
Kernel, shell, Sync, the installer. Every repo keeps a shelf of first issues.
Work on one app
Pick one app in the Creative Suite and make it better.
Review pull requests
Read other people’s changes, ask the hard question, and approve what is ready.
Audit the code
Check what leaves the machine, what a permission gates, what a default hides.
Design
Icons, wallpapers, the shape of a dialog, the words in it.
Write the docs
The manual always needs one more clear sentence, and you know which one.
