Return to DokuWiki topics, Wiki development, MediaWiki, MediaWiki development

You are welcome to contribute to DokuWiki and join the development of DokuWiki by becoming a DokuWiki contributor.

What you want to contribute is of course up to you — you should “scratch your own itches” first. If you need some DokuWiki ideas of what is missing you should have a look at the DokuWiki bugs (DokuWiki bugtracker) or on the devel:ideas pages. You could also consider devel:adoption for adopting a DokuWiki plugin or DokuWiki template. Begin by reading the DokuWiki Getting Started chapter.

Working together is more fun. The DokuWiki community needs a lot of different skills and is organized in teams. Please feel free to join one or just hang around the DokuWiki mailinglist and irc channel for DokuWiki development talk. There are also devel:irc_meetups for regular IRC meetups, devel:bughunting for bughunting weekends where eh, bugs are fixed, and sometimes DokuWiki developers meet IRL at DokuWiki devel:hackfest.

DokuWiki was a programmer mentoring organization for 2011's devel:gsoc Google Summer of Code. If you are interested in getting involved with DokuWiki development via this kind of initiative please contact us.
