There's a lot of engineering goodness to be had here. We've got code written in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Python, Java and Objective-C. If you're interested helping out with a specific part of OpenPhoto then fork the repository and send us some pull requests. If you don't know exactly where to begin then contact us and we're more than happy to help you get started.
That being said, the largest part of the code base is the frontend repository. It houses the web interface as well as the REST API which every other repository communicates to. This repository is also the one we've got a formal process to contribute to with unit tests and the works.
If you've got a gift with words we're in desperate need of your help. Much of the community consists of engineers and well, we suck at taking complex ideas and distilling them into small and easy to understand sentences.
The best way to get started is to read the copy at the The OpenPhoto Project website. Some of it is technical, like the documentation, but much of it is also trying to explain why users should care about what we're building. Wherever your passion is, help us there.
Everything can be found in the community repository for the non-technical bits or the frontend repository for the documentation.
You can open an issue for the appropriate repository or fork it and send us a pull request. If you have any questions let us know using one of the channels above.
Send an email to [email protected] or @mention us on Twitter if you'd like to help with Community Management or Social Media.
We want to make The OpenPhoto Project available for everyone. This means translating it into as many languages as possible. If you're interested in helping us out then drop an email to [email protected] and we'll be in touch once we have our translation platform ready.
