There has been many efforts going lately to encourage people to contribute to the Joomla! project in various ways.
From the Joomla! Forward initiative and the alltogetherasawhole.org website, to lots of blog posts both on the joomla.org site and elsewhere.
Jeremy Wilken of Gnomeoftherun.com is one person with a strong opinion in this matter. I met up with him during the J and Beyond conference to hear what he had to say about contributing to the Joomla! project.
In this video interview Jeremy shares his thoughts on how you can contribute to Joomla! for our common benefit.
Jeremy says:
I've been feeling very strongly lately about community involvement, and being active. Beyond just creating extensions, or being kind of third-party outside of Joomla!. Thos things are really important, don't get me wrong. The 5000 something extensions for Joomla! is amazing. It's one of it's greatest strengths.
But, at the same time, people are focusing on that. We need to be encouraging each other as a community to come together and start working on things like better documentation, Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 or whatever version. We need to be involved in that cycle. It's not important if you can code or not.
It's all about being involved in some way.
