<p>If you cannot find what you are looking for in the <a class="reference internal" href="index.html"><span class="doc">online documentation</span></a>, heres what to do:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>If you think the documentation is not clear enough and are short on time, fill in our quick little
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&amp;formkey=dGN0VlJXMWpCT3VHaHpscDEzY1RoZG">online form</a> and let us know - no login required. Maybe the docs need to be improved or a new
tutorial added! Note that while this form is useful as a suggestion box we cannot answer questions
or reply to you. Use the discussion group or chat (linked below) if you want feedback.</p></li>
<li><p>If you have trouble with a missing feature or a problem you think is a bug, go to the
[issue tracker][issues] and search to see if has been reported/suggested already. If you cant find an
existing entry create a new one.</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 [discussions group][group] This is technically a mailing list, but you dont
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 [#evennia][chat] on the <em>Freenode</em> network. Please note however that you have to be
patient if you dont 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 - youll get noticed
eventually!</p></li>

<p>Evennia is a completely non-funded project. It relies on the time donated by its users and
developers in order to progress.</p>
<p>The first and easiest way you as a user can help us out is by taking part in [community
discussions][group] and by giving feedback on what is good or bad. Report bugs you find and features
you lack to our [issue tracker][issues]. Just the simple act of letting developers know you are out
there using their program is worth a lot. Generally mentioning and reviewing Evennia elsewhere is
also a nice way to spread the word.</p>
<p>If youd like to help develop Evennia more hands-on, here are some ways to get going:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Look through our <a class="reference internal" href="index.html"><span class="doc">online documentation wiki</span></a> and see if you
can help improve or expand the documentation (even small things like fixing typos!). You dont need
any particular permissions to edit the wiki.</p></li>
<li><p>Send a message to our [discussion group][group] and/or our [IRC chat][chat] asking about what
needs doing, along with what your interests and skills are.</p></li>
<li><p>Take a look at our [issue tracker][issues] and see if theres something you feel like taking on.
[here are bugs][issues-master] that need fixes. At any given time there may also be some
[bounties][issues-bounties] open - these are issues members of the community has put up money to see
fixed (if you want to put up a bounty yourself you can do so via our page on
[bountysource][bountysource]).</p></li>
<li><p>Check out the <a class="reference internal" href="Contributing.html"><span class="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 developers cup. You can [make a donation via PayPal][paypal] or, even better, [become an
Evennia patron on Patreon][patreon]! This is a great way to tip your hat and show that you
appreciate the work done with the server! Finally, if you want to encourage the community to resolve
