Helping
We can always use another helping hand, and if you are interested, then I'd encourage you to contact us and see if you can help us. Currently, what we need the most is developers and testers, though also translators and others.
Becoming a Developer
To become a aMule Developer (tm), you'll need at the very least a working knowledge of C++, since that is the language in which aMule is written. You'll also need to learn about the GUI toolkit used by aMule: wxWidgets.
However, we do not require that you are an expert, only that you are willing to help and willing to learn.
If you are interested, then simply drop by on IRC and let us know. Currently we use a private CVS server, but after you've submitted a patch or two you can easily get r/w access to it.
Besides IRC, you can post patches on aMule's Development forum. After a few good patches, you might become a developer.
We can use your skills if you are using one of the platforms where we aim at being usable on: Unix, Solaris, Macs and Windows. And if your operating system of choice isn't on that list, then maybe you can help add it.
Becoming a Tester
We need people who are willing to create complete bug-reports, as the standard is pretty low regarding user reports. This is rather simple, but takes patience. Please contact us on IRC for more information and read this guide on creating useful backtraces.
Becoming a Translator
aMule already includes translations for a number of languages, however, we'll always welcome more, and even if your language of choice has been done already, then perhaps you can help improve it. Please see the Translations forum for more information on current translations, or contact us on IRC. Also, take a deep look into the aMule translation howto.
Of course, you can also work on translating this wiki's articles. There's still a lot of work to do!
