Contributing to Django
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Django is a community that lives on its volunteers. As it keeps growing, we
|
|
always need more people to help others. As soon as you learn Django, you can
|
|
contribute in many ways:
|
|
|
|
* Join the |django-users| mailing list and answer questions. This
|
|
mailing list has a huge audience, and we really want to maintain a
|
|
friendly and helpful atmosphere. If you're new to the Django community,
|
|
you should read the `posting guidelines`_.
|
|
|
|
* Join the `#django IRC channel`_ on Freenode and answer questions. By
|
|
explaining Django to other users, you're going to learn a lot about the
|
|
framework yourself.
|
|
|
|
* Blog about Django. We syndicate all the Django blogs we know about on
|
|
the `community page`_; if you'd like to see your blog on that page you
|
|
can `register it here`_.
|
|
|
|
* Contribute to open-source Django projects, write some documentation, or
|
|
release your own code as an open-source pluggable application. The
|
|
ecosystem of pluggable applications is a big strength of Django, help us
|
|
build it!
|
|
|
|
If you think working *with* Django is fun, wait until you start working *on*
|
|
it. We're passionate about helping Django users make the jump to contributing
|
|
members of the community, so there are several ways you can help Django's
|
|
development:
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Report bugs <bugs-and-features>` in our `ticket tracker`_.
|
|
|
|
* Join the |django-developers| mailing list and share your ideas for how
|
|
to improve Django. We're always open to suggestions.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Submit patches <writing-code/submitting-patches>` for new and/or
|
|
fixed behavior. If you're looking for an easy way to start contributing
|
|
to Django read the :doc:`/intro/contributing` tutorial and have a look at the
|
|
`easy pickings`_ tickets. The :ref:`patch-review-checklist` will also be
|
|
helpful.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Improve the documentation <writing-documentation>` or
|
|
:doc:`write unit tests <writing-code/unit-tests>`.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`Triage tickets and review patches <triaging-tickets>` created by
|
|
other users.

Really, **ANYONE** can do something to help make Django better and greater!
