There are a variety of ways in which you can contribute to Pardus. One such way is to become a Pardus Developer. A Pardus Developer can work on the following descriptions:

Contents

Developing Software/Debugging

You can contribute your knowledge and labour on developing software by assisting with cleaning up the source and helping innovative technology teams working in this field. They can provide the best information on how you can help them. The Pardus e-mail lists which you can join via http://liste.pardus.org.tr/mailman/listinfo will be helpful.

You may examine the reported bugs, and find solutions for them, using Pardus bug tracking system which can be accessed via the web pages.

Translation

If you want to help to l10n process of Pardus for your language please refer to Introduction to translation document

Tests & Bug Reports

You can report bugs by testing the software we choose. You can control the bugs in other distributions and report the situation. To know that the very same bug exists in other distributions might help us to produce a proper solution. If that problem is solved -or never existed- in a particular distribution, reaching a solution will be faster by examining the work that particular distribution did for that software. You can reach our bug tracking system via Pardus Bug Tracking

Graphical Design, Multimedia

If you are talented in this domain, you can help with the topics which require graphics knowledge, such as the icon sets, font types and colour themes. Feel free to ask for help from us via e-mail lists when you need visual materials to use in your work.

Documentation

You can support the documentation of the ongoing projects. Along with the user's documents you can prepare ``How To documents for the developers that have newly joined the project. You can assist us to update our Web pages or you can help us to keep foreign language -such as English, German, Spanish- translations of our pages up-to-date.

Publicity

You can support the publicity of the project and encourage more people to learn about it.

Probably the list of the topics you can help is not limited with those above. By rendering your opinions on the discussion points within e-mail lists, advancing proposals, providing the lists with constructive criticism and developments related with the distribution, you can find new topics to help.

You can also help in the distribution of Pardus via torrents. Downloading the file, the seeding will relief the Pardus servers from the strain of providing Direct Downloads to any user. Torrent seeding means new released of Pardus can reach a wide audience very quickly.

Lastly, contributing to PardusWiki will help new users find their way around this distribution in order to maximise efficiency.
