<p>If you cannot find what you are looking for in the <a class="reference internal" href="index.html"><span class="doc std std-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=dGN0VlJXMWpCT3VHaHpscDEzY1RoZGc6MQ#gid=0">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
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues">issue tracker</a> 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 <a class="reference external" href="http://groups.google.com/group/evennia/">discussions group</a> 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 <a class="reference external" href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=evennia">#evennia</a> 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>

<h2>How to <em>give</em> Help<a class="headerlink" href="#how-to-give-help" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<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
<a class="reference external" href="http://groups.google.com/group/evennia/">community discussions</a> and by giving feedback on what is good or bad. Report bugs you find and features
you lack to our <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/issues">issue tracker</a>. 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 std std-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 <a class="reference external" href="http://groups.google.com/group/evennia/">discussion group</a> and/or our <a class="reference external" href="http://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 theres 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
[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 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 developers cup. You can <a class="reference external" href="https://www.paypal.com/se/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=Z-VlOvfGjYq2qvCDOUGpb6C8Due7skT0qOklQEy5EbaD1f0eyEQaYlmCc8O&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d64ad11bbf4d2a5a1a0d303a50933f9">make a donation via PayPal</a> 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
