How can we non-programmers contribute?

[nevillepark]

I am not a trained programmer (I'm barely an untrained programmer), but I appreciate the project and would like to help out in my spare time if I can. What are some things you could use help with?

Some things I thought of:

• documentation, e. g. a wiki
• writing website copy
• translating
• finding typos in strings
• graphic design (not just icons, but graphics for app repos & social media)
• web design
• evaluating website & app accessibility
• testing development builds for bugs
• for experienced users, answering people's questions on official channels

I would be happy to help with documentation; I think it's important to have static, public documents people can refer to, not just having to ask questions in a chat. I can also help with proofreading and editing.

You don't need to ask what to do or be assigned to everything, you can just start contributing to these things. Just read contribution guidelines here: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/General-Discussion. You have there every information you need, even if you're not a developer.

web design

Here's a project with the website: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/fossifyorg.github.io. Just ask here if current developers needs some help with texts.

translating

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fossify. Just remember to translate only to your native language.

finding typos in strings

If you see something like this, see in contribution guidelines how to edit files and create a pull request.

evaluating website & app accessibility
testing development builds for bugs

You can test on yourself and if you see any bug or problem with accessibility, raise an issue in a proper repository

for experienced users, answering people's questions on official channels

Just participate in discussions if you know the answers to what people are asking.

Thanks so much! I'll take a look at all of these.
