# select an application you'd like to be the named contributor for
# contact support at amahi.org , or find us in the irc channel, and request '''contributor''' status for the specified application
# "Package" the application for deployment
# test the package yourself
===Contact Amahi===
Send an email to ''support at amahi.org'' , or find us in the IRC channel, indicating the application that you would like to become a contributor for, and some details on your level of experience. It may also be a good ideas to discuss in the [http://forums.amahi.org/viewforum.php?f=6 developer forum] or the amahi-devel mailing list.
The core Amahi team needs to verify that get to know you a bit and review what you do. Applications are a "good" person, in trust-based and we must ensure that the application you will be submitting does applications do not do anything malicious(intentionally or not!). Chances are we'll give you access to the contributor area of amahi.org and you can proceed from there.
