Types of Contributor
We have three types of contributor, from less involved to more involved:
- Editor: editing the apps "visual" part for English readability, HTML validation, logo/screenshot "shininess" and generally making beta apps look good
- Tester: testing, rating and sending feedback on beta apps
- Packager: packaging apps. no programming required
You can become any (or all) of these three roles by making yourself known to the community in the forums or in the IRC channel and asking to become a contributor!
Becoming an Application Packager/Contributor
- This is very easy. Whether you are an expert or you only know the basics of some application installation and configuration, this is a great way to contribute
- Read the Application Contributor Guide
