<p>If you cannot find what you are looking for in the documentation, here’s what to do:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>If you think the documentation is not clear enough, create a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues/new/choose">documentation ticket</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>If you have trouble with a missing feature or a problem you think is a bug, look through the
the list of known <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues">issue</a> if you can’t find your issue in the list, make a
new one <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues/new/choose">here</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>If you need help, want to start a discussion or get some input on something you are working on,
make a post to the <a class="reference external" href="https://groups.google.com/group/evennia/">discussions group</a> This is technically a ‘mailing list’, but you don’t
need to use e-mail; you can post and read all messages just as easily from your browser via the
online interface.</p></li>
<li><p>If you want more direct discussions with developers and other users, consider dropping into our
IRC chat channel <a class="reference external" href="https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=evennia">#evennia</a> on the <em>Freenode</em> network. There is also a Discord channel
bridged into the IRC if you prefer that. Please that you have to be
patient if you don’t get any response immediately; we are all in very different time zones and many
have busy personal lives. So you might have to hang around for a while - you’ll get noticed
eventually!</p></li>

<p>If you’d like to help develop Evennia more hands-on, here are some ways to get going:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Look through this <a class="reference internal" href="index.html#evennia-documentation"><span class="std std-doc">online documentation</span></a> and see if you can help improve or expand the
documentation (even small things like fixing typos!). <a class="reference internal" href="Contributing-Docs.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">See here</span></a> on how you
contribute to the docs.</p></li>
<li><p>Send a message to our <a class="reference external" href="https://groups.google.com/group/evennia/">discussion group</a> and/or our <a class="reference external" href="https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=evennia">IRC chat</a> asking about what
needs doing, along with what your interests and skills are.</p></li>
<li><p>Take a look at our <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues">issue tracker</a> and see if there’s something you feel like taking on.
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3Abug%20label%3Amaster-branch">here are bugs</a> that need fixes. At any given time there may also be some
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/labels/bounty">bounties</a> open.</p></li>
<li><p>Check out the <a class="reference internal" href="Contributing.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">Contributing</span></a> page on how to practically contribute with code using
github.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>… And finally, if you want to help motivate and support development you can also drop some coins
in the developer’s cup. You can <a class="reference external" href="https://www.paypal.com/se/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=Z-VlOvfGjYq2qvCDOUGpb6C8Due7skT0qOklQEy5EbaD1f0eyEQaYlmCc8O&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d64ad11bbf4d2a5a1a0d303a50933f9b2">make a donation via PayPal</a> or, even better,
<a class="reference external" href="https://www.patreon.com/griatch">become an Evennia patron on Patreon</a>! This is a great way to tip your hat and show that you
appreciate the work done with the server! You can also encourage the community to take on particular
issues by putting up a monetary <a class="reference external" href="https://www.bountysource.com/teams/evennia">bounty</a> on it.</p>
