## Spread the word
|
|
|
|
This is perhaps the most impactful contribution you can make. Spread the word.
|
|
Online on your favorite social media channels. Offline to your friends and
|
|
family who are looking for a privacy-friendly alternative to big tech.
|
|
|
|
## Engage with the community
|
|
|
|
Just hang around, enjoy the vibe. Answer someone's query on our
|
|
[Discord](https://discord.gg/z2YVKkycX3), or pile on in the sporadic #off-topic
|
|
rants there. Chuckle (or wince!) at our [Twitter](https://twitter.com/enteio)
|
|
memes. Suggest a new feature in our [Github
|
|
Discussions](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/discussions/new?category=feature-requests),
|
|
or upvote the existing ones that you feel we should focus on first. Provide your
|
|
opinion on existing threads.
|
|
|
|
These might seem like small things, but it provides us energy. Knowing that
|
|
there is a community of people who care for what we are building.
|
|
|
|
## Translate
|
|
|
|
If you're interested in helping out with translation, please visit our Crowdin
|
|
projects to get started:

|
|
If your language is not listed for translation, please [create a GitHub
|
|
issue](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/issues/new?title=Request+for+New+Language+Translation&body=Language+name%3A+%0AProject%3A+auth%2Fphotos%2Fboth)
|
|
to have it added. It is okay to have partial translations. Once ~90% of the
|
|
strings in a language get translated, we will start surfacing it in the apps.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your support.

## Document
|
|
|
|
_Coming soon!_
|
|
|
|
The help guides and FAQs for users of Ente products are also open source, and
|
|
can be edited in a wiki-esque manner by our community members. More than the
|
|
quantity, we feel this helps improve the quality and approachability of the
|
|
documentation by bringing in more diverse viewpoints and familiarity levels.
|
|
|
|
## Code contributions
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to contribute code, it is best to start small.
|
|
|
|
Each of the individual product/platform specific directories in this repository
|
|
have instructions on setting up a dev environment and making changes. The issues
|
|
labelled "good first issues" should be good starting points. Once you have a
|
|
bearing, you can head on to issues labelled "help wanted".
|
|
|
|
If you're planning on adding a new feature or making any other substantial
|
|
change, please [discuss it with
|
|
us](https://github.com/ente-io/ente/discussions). Discussing your idea with us
|
|
first ensures that everyone is on the same page before you start working on your
|
|
change.
