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

      Check out http://mysocialos.org. If the initial outline looks like something that you might enjoy using (it's very pre-alpha so very little works), add yourself on here as someone who would like to help. We will get in touch with you shortly! In the next few weeks the project will be added to gitorious. If you are a developer, you can then checkout and submit patches. Put a URL in the top bar and press share to get an idea of what this thing is about.

      • Example:

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