Line 1: − + − ==Chapter 2. How you can help== − − ===Documentation=== − Documentation for SME Server was inherited from the prior distribution maintainers, e-smith and mitel. − Their work gave SME a great base to work from. − − The current developers have continued to improve the SME Server software and to reflect these improvements the Documentation has to develop too. These wiki-based manuals have been put in place to allow anyone to update or add new sections where they see fit. − − − ===Bug and New Feature Verification=== − Please help us to make our software as reliable as possible. Your role in that is to report possible bugs only via the bug tracker, and to encourage others to do the same. Thanks. − − Refer again to [[BugzillaHelp]] for helping with bug fixing and verification, the best way to learn is to fix other peoples problems. − − ===Programming=== − − {{FixMe}} − See the Developers manual − − ===Maintaining existing Languages=== − − Changes to Existing Language sets are posted to the Translations section of the Bug Tracker. − Making a patch to keep your language updated isn't difficult, follow these steps − − Obtain an original file that you are going to modify, it will usually be a translation of a panel, eg. − /etc/e-smith/locale/en-us/etc/e-smith/web/functions/hostentries or − /etc/e-smith/locale/fr/etc/e-smith/web/functions/hostentries − if a patch from the Bug Tracker is available it will guide you on what has changed − [[http://bugs.contribs.org/attachment.cgi?id=751]] − − make a directory and copy your file there as name.old − make a copy name.new and edit it to suit − − from the command line create a patch − diff -u name.old name.new > name.patch − − add this to the existing bug or create a new one in Translations − − − ===Donations & Funding Work=== − − Help smeserver.org pay it's bills − http://www.smeserver.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=34 − − Pay a developer to add a feature you would like − Email a developer directly with your request or open a bug with your proposal
