From time to time we have people asking us how they can contribute to OpenLP. Some people think we only want help from
developers. This is not true, we need help from a range of people.
Here are some of the areas we need help in:
1. Development (of course): We always need developers who are skilled in Python for OpenLP itself, as well as Swift for
the iOS Remote, Java for the Android Remote and Angular for the Web Remote.
2. Design: Thanks to a few people in the past, OpenLP has had some decent design work done, but that doesn't mean we
don't have space for more.
3. Web Sites: We have a few sites we maintain (the main website, the developer site, etc), and we need help there.
4. Support: We get around 5 support requests per day in our support system, and around the same in our forums, but
there are very few people who actually check either of them. Just spending 10 minutes a day on the forums helping
others out would help us tremendously.
5. Documentation: The reference manual is great, but is in need of updating.
6. Blog posts: We'd love to have regular blog posts about how people use OpenLP in their churches.
If you think you can help out with any of those items, please contact us through support (at) openlp.org, we'd love to
hear from you.
If you'd like to contribute financially, please see our `donate page`_.

Once-off Donations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once-off donations are gratefully accepted. Donations can be made via PayPal.
To send a once-off donatation to OpenLP, send an e-mail via our `contact form`_
and we will reply with the Paypal address.
Once-off donations are gratefully accepted. You can donate by going to `https://www.paypal.me/raoulsnyman`_. You don't
need a PayPal account.
Regular Donations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While once-off donations are nice, regular donations are much more useful to us.
They help to cover our month-to-month costs. We use `Gratipay`_ for automated
regular donations. Gratipay works on a weekly schedule, so calculate what you
want to donate on a monthly basis and basically divide it by 4. Gratipay works
through PayPal, so all you need is a PayPal account.

One other way you can help us financially is by buying stuff from our online
store. There are T-shirts, cups, hats, USB drives, and other things for sale,
and a small percentage of the proceeds goes toward OpenLP.
