- ======================
- Contributing to Django
- ======================
- Django is a community that lives on its volunteers. As it keeps growing, we
- always need more people to help others. You can contribute in many ways, either
- on the framework itself or in the wider ecosystem.
- Work on the Django framework
- ============================
- The work on Django itself falls into three major areas:
- **Writing code** 💻
- Fix a bug, or add a new feature. You can make a pull request and see **your
- code** in the next version of Django!
- Start from the :doc:`writing-code/index` docs.
- **Writing documentation** ✍️
- Django's documentation is one of its key strengths. It's informative
- and thorough. You can help to improve the documentation and keep it
- relevant as the framework evolves.
- See :doc:`writing-documentation` for more.
- **Localizing Django** 🗺️
- Django is translated into over 100 languages - There's even some
- translation for Klingon?! The i18n team is always looking for translators
- to help maintain and increase language reach.
- See :doc:`localizing` to help translate Django.
- If you think working *with* Django is fun, wait until you start working *on*
- it. Really, **ANYONE** can do something to help make Django better and greater!
- This contributing guide contains everything you need to know to help build the
- Django web framework. Browse the following sections to find out how:

- Join the Django community ❤️
- ============================
- We're passionate about helping Django users make the jump to contributing
- members of the community. There are several other ways you can help the
- Django community and others to maintain a great ecosystem to work in:
- * Join the `Django forum`_. This forum is a place for discussing the Django
- framework and applications and projects that use it. This is also a good
- place to ask and answer any questions related to installing, using, or
- contributing to Django.
- * Join the |django-users| mailing list and answer questions. This
- mailing list has a huge audience, and we really want to maintain a
- friendly and helpful atmosphere. If you're new to the Django community,
- you should read the `posting guidelines`_.
- * Join the `Django Discord server`_ or the `#django IRC channel`_ on
- Libera.Chat to discuss and answer questions. By explaining Django to other
- users, you're going to learn a lot about the framework yourself.
- * Blog about Django. We syndicate all the Django blogs we know about on
- the `community page`_; if you'd like to see your blog on that page you
- can `register it here`_.
- * Contribute to open-source Django projects, write some documentation, or
- release your own code as an open-source pluggable application. The
- ecosystem of pluggable applications is a big strength of Django, help us
- build it!
- We're looking forward to working with you. Welcome aboard! ⛵️
