How Can I Contribute to Puppy?

There are many ways that one can contribute to Puppy. If you have started a project, you can always inform others about it by starting a new thread in the forums. You can even start a Wiki page for it! (Eg. 1∞; Eg. 2∞) You don't need blessing from anyone to start your own little project, though it would be beneficial to search and make sure that no one else has done what you want to do first. This helps avoid duplication and wasted efforts. If you want to start you own puplet, make sure you have read through Barry's FAQ∞.

  1. Are you a developer / advance user with thoughts on the existing codes or ideas on what new features should be in the next Puppy? Do you have bugs to report? Barry Kauler, the creator and maintainer of Puppy, has a news page and a developer forum where you can post your comments.
  2. Want to meet other Puppy users? Go to John's and others' forums,
  3. Want to contribute to the developement of the Puppy Linux 1.xxCE series? Ted's forum is the place to go,
  4. Have a screenshot or wallpaper that you want to share with others?
    • Either post it in the forum or submit it to puppylinux.org∞. You will also be able to submit your links∞ and articles∞ to the site upon registration.
  5. Want to see some articles and discussions on PC innovations? Check this out,
  6. Interested in writing some documentation for Puppy? You can start by editing this Wiki or join the documentation project.

Finally, you can always volunteer yourself to any of the existing project by sending pm/email to their initiator or maintainer (usually the person who has started the forum thread).
