<indexterm>
<primary>Help</primary>
</indexterm>
<para>Here is your opportunity to &contribute-url; to
the &krusader; project. There are things that need to
be done, but can't be done by us. If you feel you can help, do not
hesitate to contact us; every OpenSource can use some help.
Please also check the &contribute-url; page on our
website for more recent information. Thanks!</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Documentation</emphasis>
</para>
<para>Help is needed (we are looking for documentation writers)
for keeping the &krusader; documentation up to date.
The draft explanation of new features is done by the developers
on the krusader-devel mailing list, but we need editors to add
this information in the handbook. By playing with the new
features these editors can give valuable information to the
developers for making the new features even better!</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">&krusader;
Extensions</emphasis>
</para>
<para>Please upload your favourite extensions at
&kde-files-url;, so that they become available for the
&krusader; community. Maybe they will be shipped by
default with &krusader; at the next release :-)) It
features
<ulink url="http://www.kde-files.org/index.php?xcontentmode=660">
Keymaps</ulink>,
<ulink url="http://www.kde-files.org/index.php?xcontentmode=661">
Colormaps</ulink>,
<ulink url="http://www.kde-files.org/index.php?xcontentmode=662">
User Actions</ulink>,
<ulink url="http://www.kde-files.org/index.php?xcontentmode=663">
JavaScript Extensions</ulink>.</para>
<para>User Actions can be discussed in our
&useractionsforum-url;, please join!</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Spread the Word
&krusader;</emphasis>
</para>
<para>If you like &krusader;,
<ulink url="http://krusader.sourceforge.net/spread.php">let
people know!</ulink> Write articles and reviews for internet or
print publications. Encourage your friends to give
&krusader; a try. Participate in forums to help others
in the community.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">GUI Translations</emphasis>
</para>
<para>&krusader; is available in many languages, but
usually several translations do need an update and translations
to new languages are always welcome, please read the
&i18n-page-url; . Even when there is already a
translator for your native language, it is always helpful to have
a second or third translator ⪚ for proofreading.
Sometimes the regular translator is not available when a
translation update is needed (studies, holiday...). Please
contact the translator/s for your native language; your help will
be appreciated. Any translation (even partial translations) are
accepted by the &krusader;-Krew at any time (feature
freeze or not).</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Documentation Translations</emphasis>
</para>
<para>This documentation is translatable, if you are interested
in translating this documentation please contact Frank.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">OpenUsability</emphasis>
</para>
<para>Using a program, understanding its interface and getting
information out of it, is something that should always be clear
in every application - no matter how advanced your understanding
of operating systems is or how deep your computer literacy is.
For that reason &krusader; asked to be included in the
&openusability-url; project.</para>
<para>This project joins the software developers and usability
experts in an attempt to check all parts of a user interface for
the inappropriate entries. Its main goal is making user
interfaces and dialogs understandable and friendly to every user.
We need our users comments, your comments, to make things better.
In case you find a part of the program's interface to be too
complicated, please do help us correct it and make it
better.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Donations</emphasis>
</para>
<para>Actually, we hadn't considered donations, until users asked
us for a way to &donate-url; to the project.
&krusader; is, and always will be free, in all the
terms of the GNU Public License.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Packagers</emphasis>
</para>
<para>We are always in need of packagers for different distro
rpm's, deb's, etc. All help is welcome.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Users' feedback for the
&krusader; &MacOS; X port</emphasis>
</para>
<para>There is a &macosx-port-url;
with the help of &fink-url; , the port is
maintained by
<ulink url="http://hritcu.wordpress.com/about/">Catalin Hritcu</ulink>,
all feedback is welcome.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Porting &krusader; to
&Windows;</emphasis>
</para>
<para>&krusader; is written using &Qt; as
well as &kde;libs. As long as &kde;libs
does not run on &Windows;, porting
&krusader; is not an option. However, we do believe
that once &Qt;4-GPL is released, efforts will be made
to port &kde;libs to &Windows;, and if that
happens, we're in business and then we need a maintainer for
porting &krusader; to &Windows;.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">FAQ</emphasis>
</para>
<para>If you have a question that is missing in the
&faq-lnk;, we would like to hear it.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Others</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
<link linkend="faqg_wish">Feedback</link>,
<link linkend="faqg_bug_report">Bug reports</link>, patches,
&etc; are always welcome! An open source project's
greatest strength is derived from getting user feedback.</para>
<para>On some websites like &freshmeat-url; or
&kde-apps-url; you can give a rate, if you like
&krusader; go to one of these sites and rate
&krusader;, thanks.</para>
