Other tasks

KOffice is a very large project. There are many fields where help is needed (all fields, in fact). If you want to contribute to KOffice you could:

• help programming. This means development work on the main applications, new applications, filters (desperately needed!), plugins and datatools, more functions for KSpread...
• fix small bugs if you find them and send a patch. See also the Task List.
• translate KOffice
• draw graphics
• contribute artwork
• help maintaining koffice.org. See the Web Task List.
• test KOffice extensively and send descriptive bug reports via the "Help, Report Bug" mechanism in the programs.
• donate money or hardware Yes, this is needed in free software development, too, e.g. for extending the KOffice server.

If you want to help the KOffice developers (or even become one) please subscribe to the koffice-devel mailing list (or use the KOffice mailing list) so you know what is needed and we avoid duplicating work. Please do not be angry if you do not get instant replies - everybody has got a lot to do.
