There are a few ways to contribute and get involved and with Amahi!

Here is a list of ideas that the community has been suggesting:

  • Contribute to this wiki! That is probably the most direct and quick way to contribute. Your experience helps others install and run their HDA!
  • Share your experience in the area or running a server and answer questions in the community forums or in the users mailing list. If you are an experienced user, others will appreciate your efforts and this will make the project more usable and successful in the long run
  • Talk about Amahi! Let people know what Amahi is about, help them install their HDA
  • Promote Amahi, such as doing a presentation to your local LUG (Linux User Group), share your presentation with others!
  • Blog about your experience with Amahi
  • Make recommendations
  • Do reviews or HOWTOs
  • Help us create a polished "press kit" of sorts that we can give when managines and website editors ask us about Amahi
  • Create a theme or two
  • Help us write a "manual" so that it's printable (in pdf and also in paper)
  • Submit to other sites that may like it! :-)

... remember, it has to be fun and enjoyable for you, take as little time as possible, and help the community!

Becoming an Application Maintainer

  • This is very easy. If you are an expert, or even if you only know the basics of some application installation and configuration, this is a great way to contribute
  • Get in touch with support at amahi dot org indicating what application you would like to maintain and we will set you up as a application maintainer

Becoming a developer

  • Join the amahi-devel list
  • Grab a copy of the git repo
    git clone http://git.amahi.org/amahi.git
  • Get yourself familiar with the pieces, and ask questions!
