      Most code development is done on the English site, but there is a lot of tweaking, administration and localization to be done on the Finnish site. Our source code is in https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype and https://github.com/esetera/BookiPublisher

      We need to write or translate a lot of open source manuals.

      If you speak Finnish you can register in http://fi.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita/ and check if some of the manuals need updates. English version is in http://booki.flossmanuals.net/

      For people who speak both English and Finnish there is an almost endless amount of manuals to translate. Or you can participate in writing a new manual.

      Updating screenshots might be an easy way to start.

      You can register in http://fi.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita/ and see if some of the manuals have screenshots that are outdated.

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

      Proof-reading the manuals.

      There are less people than on Wikipedia.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.
