Helping the Joomla! Project
There are many ways you can help with Joomla:
Production Department Teams
- Report bugs and request features in our trackers. Please read the article Filing bugs and issues for details on how we like our bug reports served up.
- Submit patches for new and/or fixed behavior. Please read the Patch submission guidelines, for details on how to submit a patch.
- Join the developer forums and share your ideas for how to improve Joomla!. We're always open to suggestions, although we're likely to be skeptical of large-scale suggestions without some code to back it up.
- Join any of the Production Teams and bring your personal expertise to the Joomla! community. More info about the different working groups can be found here.
- Contribute to documentation about Joomla by creating a JDocs account and editing the Joomla Documentation Wiki.
- Contribute to Joomla's Translations on Crowdin
Should you have any questions on any of the above items, join the regular Bugs & Fun @Home events running each Saturday.
