Where to get started to help improve Friendica?
|
|
===============================================
|

|
|
|
|
Do you want to help us improve Friendica?
|
|
Here we have compiled some hints on how to get started and some tasks to help you choose.
|
|
A project like Friendica is the sum of many different contributions.
|
|
**Very different skills are required to make good software.
|
|
Some of them involve coding, others do not.**
|
|
We are looking for helpers in all areas, whether you write text or code, whether you spread the word to convince people or design new icons.
|
|
Whether you feel like an expert or like a newbie - join us with your ideas!

Remember the questions you had when you first tried Friendica?
|
|
A good place to start can be to help new people find their way around Friendica in the [general support forum](https://helpers.pyxis.uberspace.de/profile/helpers).
|
|
Welcome them, answer their questions, point them to documentation or ping other helpers directly if you can't help but think you know who can.

Translation
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The documentation contains help on how to translate Friendica in the [at Transifex](/help/translations) where the UI is translated.
|
|
If you don't want to translate the UI, or it is already done to your satisfaction, you might want to work on the translation of the /help files?
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Are you good at designing things?

###Issues
|
|
|
|
Have a look at our [issue tracker](https://github.com/friendica/friendica) on github!
|
|
|
|
* Try to reproduce a bug that needs more inquries and write down what you find out.
|
|
* If a bug looks fixed, ask the bug reporters for feedback to find out if the bug can be closed.
|
|
* Fix a bug if you can. Please make the pull request against the *develop* branch of the repository.
|
|
|
|
###Web interface
|
|
|
|
The thing many people want most is a better interface, preferably a responsive Friendica theme.
|
|
This is a piece of work!
|
|
If you want to get involved here:
|
|
|
|
* Look at the first steps that were made (e.g. the clean theme).
|
|
Ask us to find out whom to talk to about their experiences.
|
|
* Talk to design people if you know any.
|
|
* Let us know about your plans [in the dev forum](https://friendika.openmindspace.org/profile/friendicadevelopers) and the [theme developer forum](https://friendica.eu/profile/ftdevs).
|
|
Do not worry about cross-posting.
|
|
|
|
###Client software
|
|
There are free software clients that do somehow work with Friendica but most of them need love and maintenance.
|
|
Also, they were mostly made for other platforms using the StatusNet API.
|
|
This means they lack the features that are really specific to Friendica.
|
|
Popular clients you might want to have a look at are:
|
|
|
|
* [Hotot (Linux)](http://hotot.org/) - abandoned
|
|
* [Friendica for Android](https://github.com/max-weller/friendica-for-android) - abandoned
|
|
* You can find more working client software in [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendica).
