Often people believe you have to be a software developer to improve software. That is not the case. Below you can find some inspiration how to help the buzztard project. If you like to do some of these, make sure you talk to us on irc, the forum or the mailing-list to avoid double work.

Contents

Report first contact experience

First contact experience is unique and shows us things we don't see anymore. Getting a report about you first experience when using or also when building buzztard would be nice.

  • what was difficult/easy
  • what resources did you consult (web/help/forum/irc)

Design a feature (blueprint)

A new feature needs a bit of thinking. How should the new functionality be presented. What is the workflow of using the feature.

  • make a ui design using glade/inkscape/paper
  • write up a few paragraph with usage-scenarios on the wiki

Translate to a new locale

Tutorials

A video is a great way give and overview or demonstrate features.

  • Record a tutorial and post to a video site
    • start with the tutorials included with buzztard (if not done yet)
  • propose new tutorials or write scripts for new videos
