How you can help

Props is a collaborative, open source software development project. As such, we welcome contributions from other developers.

We'd like to note, however, that you don't need to be a programmer to contribute. Here is a list of other ways in which you can help:

  • Submit bug reports (this is possibly the biggest thing you can do to help us out)
  • Let us know at girardot (at) mac (dot) com what you found/find most confusing about the software, or which parts of the user interface could be improved, so we can make it easier to use
  • Submit suggestions for making the documentation clearer to girardot (at) mac (dot) com.
  • Suggest improvements or useful features. We recommend posting these to the mailing list, so others can have a chance to add their input
  • Write additional documentation / user guides
  • Make improvements to the included demo site templates, so others will find it easier to get up to speed on the software.
  • Write funny stories to be included on the demo site.
  • Drop a line and let us know how the software is being used
  • Help us advertise the software by telling others in your industry or organization about it. More users means more potential contributors.
