Contributing to Django
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Django is a community that lives on its volunteers. As it keeps growing, we
|
|
always need more people to help others. You can contribute in many ways, either
|
|
on the framework itself or in the wider ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
Work on the Django framework
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
The work on Django itself falls into three major areas:
|
|
|
|
**Writing code** 💻
|
|
Fix a bug, or add a new feature. You can make a pull request and see **your
|
|
code** in the next version of Django!
|
|
|
|
Start from the :doc:`writing-code/index` docs.
|
|
|
|
**Writing documentation** ✍️
|
|
Django's documentation is one of its key strengths. It's informative
|
|
and thorough. You can help to improve the documentation and keep it
|
|
relevant as the framework evolves.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`writing-documentation` for more.
|
|
|
|
**Localizing Django** 🗺️
|
|
Django is translated into over 100 languages - There's even some
|
|
translation for Klingon?! The i18n team are always looking for translators
|
|
to help maintain and increase language reach.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`localizing` to help translate Django.
|
|
|
|
If you think working *with* Django is fun, wait until you start working *on*
|
|
it. Really, **ANYONE** can do something to help make Django better and greater!

Join the Django community ❤️
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
We're passionate about helping Django users make the jump to contributing
|
|
members of the community. There are several other ways you can help the
|
|
Django community and others to maintain a great ecosystem to work in:
|
|
|
|
* Join the `Django forum`_. This forum is a place for discussing the Django
|
|
framework and applications and projects that use it. This is also a good
|
|
place to ask and answer any questions related to installing, using, or
|
|
contributing to Django.
|
|
|
|
* Join the |django-users| mailing list and answer questions. This
|
|
mailing list has a huge audience, and we really want to maintain a
|
|
friendly and helpful atmosphere. If you're new to the Django community,
|
|
you should read the `posting guidelines`_.
|
|
|
|
* Join the `#django IRC channel`_ on Libera.Chat and answer questions. By
|
|
explaining Django to other users, you're going to learn a lot about the
|
|
framework yourself.
|
|
|
|
* Blog about Django. We syndicate all the Django blogs we know about on
|
|
the `community page`_; if you'd like to see your blog on that page you
|
|
can `register it here`_.
|
|
|
|
* Contribute to open-source Django projects, write some documentation, or
|
|
release your own code as an open-source pluggable application. The
|
|
ecosystem of pluggable applications is a big strength of Django, help us
|
|
build it!
|
|
|
|
We're looking forward to working with you. Welcome aboard! ⛵️
