Oscar

  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

    • 0

      Get the sandbox running on your machine: http://django-oscar.readthedocs.org/en/latest/internals/sandbox.html

      That gives you a good starting point to play with Oscar. From there on, you can fiddle with the design, add features or fix bugs, or have a stab at improving our docs.

      • Tip:

        Talk about diverse kinds of contributions. Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Examples:

        Here's how to download and patch our codes…

        Read about our death-defying mailing list and momentous IRC channel at http://lobstermag.net.

      Design/UX work

      We bundle a very basic set of templates for the sandbox, and a nicer set of templates for our demo site. And the "backend" dashboard also needs both design and UX work because people spend a lot of time there. All of them are great places to show off your design chops!

      Documentation

      It's hard to write good beginner-friendly documentation if one is intricately familiar with the project. We're always looking for stumble blocks and suggestions on how to make getting up and running with Oscar easier!

      Translating

      Oscar already works in 15+ languages. But for world domination, we need more. If you speak both English and another language, please check out Oscar on Transifex and start translating!

      • 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?

      • 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 Oscar that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • [X]

      • 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.
