Here's a list of things you can do to help the project: + +- Report problems with building, installing or running the software. + In particular, test the experimental git branches ("next" and "pu"). + This helps to identify and fix problems before the code gets merged + and thus keeps the master branch as stable as possible. +- Proofread the documentation (manual, web pages, man pages, source + code documentation) and point out unclear or poorly written parts. If + you are a native English speaker you will easily find a lot of text + that could be improved. +- Run analysis tools (coverity, afl, sparse, etc.) and report issues + found by those tools. +- Suggest new features you would like to see implemented. +- Compile and test on your favorite architecture or operating + system. The code is tested only on a limited set of systems, so you + will probably encounter problems when building on different systems. +- Post about about paraslash on your blog or on social networks. +- Build and maintain Debian/RPM packages for your favorite distribution. + +Note that there is no mailing list, no bug tracker and no discussion +forum for paraslash. If you'd like to contribute, or have questions +about contributing, send email to Andre Noll . + Tools ----- -- 2.39.2
