Getting Involved

So you like Bodhi, and you want to know how you can help? There are a number of areas where we could use volunteers, even if you have no technical knowledge!

If you know a language besides English and want to help translate Bodhi, just create a page in your language. It would be a great help if you could translate existing documentation pages! Also, check the forum thread on translations. If you're interested in helping translate the Bodhi Guide to Enlightenment, there are specific instructions for that here.

Did you make a support request in the forums after finding that we didn't have a page explaining how to solve your problem? If you were to make a page explaining step-by-step how you got things working, you would help others in the same boat immeasurably. Also see the Documentation ToDo page.

We've also been making some how-to videos for various pages. If you feel like downloading a recorder and creating a walkthrough video, you'll make things a lot easier for others. The video walkthroughs for making videos and adding them to the wiki should be enough to get you started.

If you have some time, hop on IRC and see if anyone needs help, or go to the forums and reply to any support requests that you know the answer to. If there's some other way you want to help, please let us know on IRC or the forum.

Have graphical skills? We can always use new art for Bodhi! Take a look at the Art Wiki. To post there, you'll need to make an account and have your permissions changed so that you can do editing. Post in the Bodhi Linux Style & Design sub-forum and we'll give you edit permissions.

If you can code, and want to donate your time to this project, take a look at our feature want list for Enlightenment. You can also drop a note on the Bodhi Linux Discussion sub-forum or try the IRC channel.

Any contribution of funds would help us immensely. Running a server is expensive! Please donate to the Bodhi project to keep us alive.
