Use Profanity
The easiest way you can help out is just by using Profanity and sending any feedback you have to the mailing list. Any feedback is welcome, although please keep it polite, and refrain from using profanity (pun intended).
See Reporting issues for information on where and how to report issues, and how to supply logs/debug information.
Help with the website
The website often has small errors or omissions in documentation etc. The website source is also available at github so feel free to send pull requests there.
We're always interested to hear about profanity being used in different environments, and if you have any screenshots, we'd be happy to post them at the website.
Contribute code
Code contributions are always very welcome. From the small (spelling fixes) to the large (new XMPP features).
If you would like to get involved, you can submit a pull request, or if you just want to get involved but don't know how, email jubalh@iodoru.org.
Also make sure to read the CONTRIBUTING document on GitHub.
To find a first issue to work on check out the various repositories:
Click on the tab called Issues in the repository on GitHub and go through them until you find something that interests you.
We also tag our issues. So you can easily see if something is a bug or a feature request. Or which part of the code the issue is about, like e.g. UI.
Especially check out the issues tagged as help wanted.
You can also check out the milestones where we plan which issues should be solved for certain milestones/releases. The milestone called next contains the issues for the next release.
People find it often the easiest to work on a bug that affects them personally. Or to implement a feature that they want to have. So think about what you want and need. You can also join our MUC to get help about getting started with development on Profanity
Donate
Yes, the rumors are true. Developers also have to eat. They also have limited time.
And yet some of them decide to use their free time to develop free software.
If you want to say "Thank You", please consider donating.
