Volunteer work?

[Jason McArdle]

Hello everyone!

I have Haiku as a primary OS on my computer. I really enjoy it as I was a
huge fan of BeOS back in the day.

I was wondering if there's anyway I could contribute my time to helping in
development of the OS?

Unfortunately I don't have any skills as far as programming is concerned.

I do have some Community/Forums background though as well as bug testing
for game software. I've also ran a few blogs in the past.

If there's anything I could do, it would be great.

Thanks!

Jason

You can help generate documentation or do tutorials.

Mailing lists: http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ml watch out for documentation

or

you can do tutorials for the knowledge base BeSly (http://www.besly.de) too

If you want to program your own apps, try to learn yab, it is a easy to learn programming
language:

http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/development/language/yab

also interesting ist this simple dev language for generating games:

http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/development/games/egsl-150

This are only some things for people who does not can help with programming :-)

Actually, if you enjoy blog writing, simply writing about your
experiences with Haiku as a primary OS would be worthwhile. Good, bad,
or ugly, it would give readers a better idea of what Haiku is like and
may interest them to try it out themselves.
