OpenHatch - Projects

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

  Hop on #pyblosxom on Freenode.net and hang out with us. We talk about plugins, pyblosxom core, bugs, features, and how people are using PyBlosxom on their own systems.
  
  These discussions lead to development and testing which leads to new versions of things.

  documentation feedback
  
  I work on the documentation in spurts, generally after someone has provided feedback. It's really hard to build quality comprehensive documentation without feedback from users and other people who have read bits of the documentation. Feedback could include things you found confusing, diagrams that would really help to have, examples that are incorrect, other things that need explaining.
  
  We hang out on #pyblosxom on Freenode.net. Hop on and let us know what you think could be better.
