The love that's been coming Devuan's way has been great but it would be even better if that love transformed into more volunteers helping to improve every aspect of Devuan. Now that we're turning our attention to Ascii, there is certainly plenty to do!  Feedback is essential for Devuan to grow and prosper. Here are some ways you can help:

• Report a bug - If you think you have found a bug in a Devuan package, please report it to http://bugs.devuan.org, either by using the reportbug tool or directly via email

• Fix a bug - If you think you know how to fix an existing bug, please report the solution in the corresponding page on http://bugs.devuan.org, or, better, roll-up your sleeves, implement the fix, and get in touch with the development team on IRC (#devuan-dev on libera) to have your patch included in the official repos

• Share the love - If you would like a package to be included in Devuan, please consider joining the development team by taking charge of packaging and maintaining it. https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … aintainers

• How can we improve? - If you have comments about the website and/or other public aspects of Devuan, please get in touch with jaromil or golinux

Devuan has a wishlist! As we grow, the need for community participation and hardware and financial support increases. Here are some suggestions that will help move us along:

• Test new Devuan packages - When packages are built specifically for Devuan, we need feedback about how they work.  This is something that any Devuan user can contribute!

• Host a mirror - Have extra bandwidth?  Please consider hosting a mirror of Devuan images/repos. Get in touch with Devuan developers on IRC at #devuan-dev` on libera to discuss details

• Build a local community - Devuan encourages multi-lingual support and localized groups. Consider setting up additional support options on the dev1galaxy forum or an email list or IRC channel etc., in your native language. Here are some  suggestions to get you started: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1498#p1498

• Translate language packs for FluxBB - This contribution would allow local communities to use the dev1galaxy.org forum in their native language.  So far Polish, Italian, Swedish and Croation are in process. See: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1528

• Contribute RTFM stuff - Documentation and/or translations in any language are needed. Contributions could go into https://wiki.devuan.org or https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=7

BBCode is now available at the click of a mouse on both the quick reply and regular input areas.  So no excuse not to format your posts!

Presentation is important.  A wall of text with no visual clues to organize content is difficult to follow and may even reduce the chances of a post being read or an answer given.  We hope to build solid documentation for the Devuan community here so please be thoughtful when posting.
