Are you interested in contributing to this project, or just interested
in learning what goes into it? Then this is the page for you!
There are two main areas of work: maintaining and improving the
existing content (walkthrough chapters and tutorials), and adding
new tutorials.
At the moment I'm focussing on updating Tiny Pirate's
`old tutorials <http://afteractionreporter.com/dwarf-fortress-tutorials/>`_ -
the chapters are written for DF v0.28.181.40d, which was
released in 2008!
If you want to help out by improving existing chapters and tutorials,
that would be much appreciated. I'm also very happy to take bug reports!
(for the updated chapters, anyway - I know the old ones are old!)
You can `find the project on Github
<https://github.com/PeridexisErrant/DF-Walkthrough>`_.
If this sounds like a lot of work - and it is - you can
`support me on Patreon <https://www.patreon.com/PeridexisErrant>`_ instead.

I'm also very happy to take bug reports - just send me a message about
small errors, typos, or formatting problems. Larger issues about content
should be reported on the Github issue tracker, so I'm not the only one
who can work on them.
