= We Need Your Help! =

There are many ways in which you can become involved in the Trac project. Even if you are not a programmer, there are ways that you can benefit from Trac and ways to help make Trac more useful to yourself and others.

You can also find out what's going on in the community by joining the MailingList, where Trac users and developers share information about the project and discuss freely and openly.

If you are interested in "live" communication with the TracTeam, contributors and users, you might be interested in the IrcChannel.

== User Feedback ==
To make Trac better, we need user and developer feedback. Even if you're not a programmer, bug reports, ideas and suggestions are more than welcome.

For bug reports, feature request and feedback, we recommend filing [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/newticket/  a new ticket] in the issue database.

== Code Contributions ==
Naturally, contributions in source code form are more than welcome. Please send patches to the MailingList for review and merging. If you think you should have write-permission to the SubversionRepository, please contact JonasBorgstrom or DanielLundin directly.

See TracDev for resources about Trac development.

The following tickets may be good starting points:
 * [query:status=new|assigned|reopened&keywords~=helpwanted helpwanted] tickets (tickets which are looking for contributors)
 * [query:status=new|assigned|reopened&keywords~=review review]
   tickets (peer review requested)
 * [query:status=new|assigned|reopened&keywords~=documentation documentation]
   tickets (things that needs to be better documented)

== Extensions ==
Trac is extensible in a variety of ways. For example, you can add WikiMacros. The MacroBazaar is a good place to share them, as is the [http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/ Trac Hacks site].

Starting at version [milestone:0.9], you can also extend Trac with custom plugins. See TracDev/PluginDevelopment for more information. Again, [http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/ Trac Hacks] is a good place for sharing your plugins.
