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`_.
