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

      Tell us! Also, help us manage and promote UH!

      Anything that feels annoying to devs for long enough gets fixed sooner or later. Bug us about the problems you have (and do so repeatedly) until we notice it ourselves.
      Also, we're really open to people helping us with marketing, PR and in our forums. Coders best go code, so this is an area where you can also help out if you have no idea about programming at all. Introduce you on IRC and we find you a great job!

      • 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.
