<p>If you cannot find what you are looking for in the [online documentation](<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=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>

<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 [online documentation wiki](<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 <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 <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/evennia/evennia/labels/bounty">bounties</a> 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 <a class="reference external" href="https://www.bountysource.com/teams/evennia">bountysource</a>).</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 <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! Finally, if you want to encourage the community to resolve a particular</p>
