+Have you used tinc? Do you like it? Is there something missing? There are
+various ways you can help to make tinc even better:
+
+* **Report bugs.**
+ Don't hesitate to [[send|contact]] in a bug report.
+ If we don't know about a bug, we cannot fix it.
+ It is also fine to report a bug that has already been reported,
+ that way we can determine how many people are affected by it.
+
+* **Improve and/or translate the documentation.**
+ Is there anything missing in the documentation?
+ Do you think some parts are hard to understand and could be written better?
+ Feel free to send improvements for the documentation.
+ The documentation comes in several forms:
+ * Manpages, these are reference manuals for the binaries and configuration files.
+ * The [[docs|manual]], which contains also contains introductions and explainations about how tinc works and how you can set it up.
+ * The [[examples]] on the wiki, which describe how to set up tinc in various scenatios.
+
+* **Test development versions of tinc.**
+ Tinc is continuously being improved.
+ There are two branches of development; the stable branch (version 1.0.x), and the 1.1 branch.
+ The code for these versions can be found in the [[repository]].
+
+* **Port and maintain tinc on your favorite OS/device.**
+ There are many software and hardware [[platforms]] that tinc will run on.
+ However, the main developers cannot test tinc on all of them.
+ We can use people who test new versions of tinc on their favorite operating system, distribution or hardware device,
+ and report or fix any problems they encounter.
+ Furthermore, if your OS distribution does not come with a native package for tinc,
+ you are welcome to create and maintain such a package.
+ In particular, we are looking for maintainers for:
+ * Windows
+ * OpenBSD
+ * Apple iOS
+
+* **Help writing code.**
+ If you know C and would like to help improve tinc, [[let us know|contact]].
+ There will always be something to work on.
+
+* **Donate.**
+ Monetary contributions are also welcome.
+ Use the Paypal link in the sidebar to donate.
+ Your contribution will be used to cover the costs of the domain names,
+ backup infrastructure, and possibly to buy hardware to port tinc to.
