A burgeoning community is developing around Amahi. With the release of version 2.6 of he Amahi Home Server, a new class of community member has been created '''contributor.'''
A '''contributor''' is a trust based member of the community who does (or leads) the following for a specific application to be deployed on Amahi:
# select an application you'd like to be the named contributor for
# contact support at amahi.org and request '''contributor''' status for the specified application
# "Package" the application for deployment
# test the package yourself
# test the app with a select user base
# release the application to the Amahi user community
# upgrade/maintain the application
==Details==
Here are some details on each step ..
===Application Selection===
Chances are you know what application youd like to see running on Amahi! Contact us and we'll help you become the named contributor for that application.
If there is a particular application you'd like to see running on Amahi and you ''don't have the skills/time'' to be a contributor, let us know. We'll keep it on file.
Eventually http://www.amahi.org will have areas where community members can nominate applications for deployment on Amahi. This will make it easier for contributors to select applications.
==Contact Amahi==
Send an email to ''support at amahi.org'' indicating the application that you would like to become a contributor for, and some details on your level of experience. We'll give you access to the contributor area of amahi.org and you can proceed from there.
==Package the Application==
Packaging the applicaiton for deployment on Amahi involves
* Naming the application and describing it (short/long descriptions)
* Creating icons/screenshots for display
* pointing to source tarball, RPM, etc. as required
* setting up necesasry installation/removeal scripts
For a more detailed explanation refer to [[Package Application Documentation]]
==Test Yourself==
Once you have packaged the application get it ready to install.
