      Run a mirror

      If you have a server with some disk space and bandwidth available, get in touch at mirrors@libravatar.org and you can become one of the first official mirrors!

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

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

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      Write a plugin

      Instead of coding on the main project, you could write a Libravatar plugin for your favourite application:
      http://wiki.libravatar.org/writing_a_plugin/

      Here are the plugins that others have suggested:

      • 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.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Libravatar that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      Creating a theming system

      Currently if someone wants to run their own instance of Libravatar, they have to create a separate branch and merge in changes from the upstream version.

      We should really have a theming system of some sort to allow third-party instances to look different.

      • 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.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
