==== Contributor List ====
{{Contributor_List}}
{{Anchor|Maintainer}}
{{Anchor|Contributor}}
==== Contributor Responsibilities ====
The tasks of a contributor include:
* Answering questions in the forums.
* Keeping the wiki up-to-date.
* Testing of installation, build and upgrade instructions.
* Following the [[Reporting_Bugs#Issue_Tracker|issue tracker]], squashing bugs and perhaps implementing new features relating to the maintained component.
* Otherwise self-initiated (guess) work and taking care of the [[#Contributor List|component]] in question.
This is a volunteer position.
==== Package Contributor ====
{{project_name_short}} provides a lot of Debian packages; see [https://github.com/{{project_name_short}} Overview] for further information. Due to limited [[Contributors|{{project_name_short}} contributors]] resources, only [[Packages for Debian Hosts|a few]] packages are supported on Debian hosts. A lot of these packages are [[Other_Operating_Systems#{{project_name_short}}_Packages|untested and unmaintained]] in any other Linux distribution.
Would you be interested in maintaining one or more packages for use beyond {{project_name_short}}? For example, in Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or other distributions? Maintenance requirements would involve keeping up with code changes and releases, testing if these packages work outside of {{project_name_short}}, eventually reporting bugs or adding new features, and answering user support requests.
If interested, ambitious package contributors could even seek to have one or more {{project_name_short}} packages accepted into a mainstream Linux distribution.
This is a volunteer position.
==== General Tasks ====
People with skills and interest in the following areas would also help:
* Good knowledge of Linux networking and nftables.
* AppArmor profile creation and testing of new [[AppArmor]] profiles for improved security.
* {{Code2|#!/bin/bash}}
* Programming languages like Python, Rust, C++, and others.
* Registration at our [[Reporting_Bugs#Issue_Tracker|issue tracker]].
* Participation in the [https://forums.{{project_clearnet}}/c/development/7 development forum]; consider hitting the "notify" button to subscribe.
* Discussion participation - login on github and go to https://github.com/{{project_name_short}}/derivative-maker/issues and press "watch" for notifications about {{project_name_short}} github issues (this is an old issue tracker and less important).
