<p>If you cannot find what you are looking for in the documentation, heres 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 cant 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="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. There is also a Discord channel
bridged into the IRC if you prefer that. Please 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>Just the simple act of us know you are out there using Evennia helps a lot!</p>
</div>
<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 this <a class="reference external" href="index.html#Evennia-documentation">online documentation</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">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="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.</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! 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>
