This is probably the best way to help without deep technical knowledge.* If you want to help with the platform, get in the Amahi [[Mailing listAmahi_7_release_notes|Release Notes]] for Amahi 7 versions detailing of bug fixes and get some patches going. Ruby and RoR can help here.* Testing and porting themes will also help* Want to develop a new theme?
