-====================
- Contributing HOWTO
-====================
-
-.. contents:: Sections
- :local:
-
-
-.. _join-the-community-section:
-
-Join the community!
-===================
-
-We're super glad you want to join our community!
-
-See `the join page on the website <http://mediagoblin.org/join/>`_ for
-where we hang out.
-
-There are a variety of ways you can help us and become part of the
-team. We're not just looking for coders! We're also looking for
-documentation writers, users, testers, evangelists, user-interface
-designers, graphics designers, user-experience designers, system
-administrators, friends, painters, bakers, candle-stick makers...
-
-Here are some things you can do today:
-
-
- **Hang out with us**
-
- You should hang out with us! We like people like you!
-
- At a bare minimum, join the `mailing list
- <http://mediagoblin.org/join/>`_ and say, "Hi!"
-
- We also hang out on IRC in ``#mediagoblin`` on Freenode.net.
-
-
- **File bugs**
-
- Filing bugs is a critical part of any project. For more
- information on filing bugs, see :ref:`filing-bugs`.
-
-
- **Write/Fix some code**
-
- If you are a coder and you're looking to code, check out the
- :ref:`hacking-howto`. We even have tips on *becoming* a coder
- and we're willing to help you!
-
-
- **Send encouragement**
-
- A nice word from you could send someone into a tizzy of
- productive work. Ten nice words could complete a feature.
- One hundred nice words could get us to the next milestone.
-
- Send it to the `mailing list <http://mediagoblin.org/join/>`_
- or hop into ``#mediagoblin`` on Freenode.net and let us know.
-
-
- **Spread the word**
-
- The seductive call of Free Software services is a powerful
- one, but many cannot hear it because it's drowned out by the
- rush hour traffic honking of proprietary walled gardens and
- faux free services. Yuck! Be the sweet chirrup of the bird
- amidst the din! Tell others that there is a better way to
- live!
-
- FIXME - do we want to talk about ways to spread the word?
-
- FIXME - how can people notify us that they're spreading the
- word?
-
-
-We're still working on project infrastructure. We hope to have the
-bits in place for these additional things to do in the coming months:
-
- **Become a user**
-
- We're building GNU MediaGoblin for us and for you but really
- you're one of us and I am you and we are we and GNU
- MediaGoblin is the walrus.
-
- Sign up for an account. Use the service. Relish in the
- thought that this service comes with a heaping side of Freedom
- and you can salt and pepper it to your liking.
-
-
- **Help other users**
-
- Have you spent time with GNU MediaGoblin? If so, your
- experience and wisdom are invaluable and you're the best
- person we can think of to help other users with their
- questions.
-
-
- **Run your own instance**
-
- Are there things about our instance you want to change? Are
- there things about other instances you wish were different?
- Want to test upcoming changes? Want to create patches to
- implement things you need? That's great---you can run your
- own instance!
-
- For more information on deploying your own instance, see
- :ref:`deployment-howto`.
-
-
- **Translate GNU MediaGoblin**
-
- Knowing more than one language is an important skill. If you
- are multi-lingual and are interested in translating GNU
- MediaGoblin, see :ref:`translating`.
-
-
- **Create a theme**
-
- As people deploy their own GNU MediaGoblin instances, good
- themes are a must have! For more information on theming, see
- :ref:`theming-howto`.
-
-
-Contributing thank you drawings / copyright assignment
-======================================================
-
-Copyright assignment with GNU MediaGoblin to the `FSF
-<http://fsf.org>`_ is highly encouraged but not mandatory. To
-incentivize both this and people to make cool contributions to our
-project, if you make useful contributions to GNU MediaGoblin *and* do
-a copyright assignment to the Free Software Foundation, the founder of
-the project, Chris Webber, will make a custom drawing of a goblin
-dedicated specifically to you.
-
-For why we're doing copyright assignment, see the
-:ref:`design-decisions-chapter`.
-
-
-.. _filing-bugs:
-
-File bugs
-=========
-
-GNU MediaGoblin uses a bug tracker called `Redmine
-<http://www.redmine.org>`_.
-
-The bug tracker is at `<http://bugs.foocorp.net/projects/mediagoblin>`_.
-
-A good bug report has the following things in it:
-
-1. A short summary that's 60 characters or less.
-
-2. A description that describes the issue (bug, feature request, ...)
- as well as the context.
-
- * If it's a bug, can you reproduce it? Is the issue specific to a
- browser, computer, image, ...?
-
- * If it's a feature request, are there related links on the Internet
- for more information? Would you be willing to help implement or
- test the feature?
-
-That's it! When someone looks into the issue and has questions,
-they'll contact you!
-
-If you don't hear from anyone in a couple of weeks, find someone on
-IRC.
-
-
-.. _translating:
-
-Translate GNU MediaGoblin
-=========================
-
-Coming soon when we set up translation infrastructure.
-
-
-Where to go when you get stuck
-==============================
-
-Go to `our Web site <http://mediagoblin.org/>`_ where we list the
-various places we hang out and how to get a hold of us.
