This Page Needs Your Help

Contributing to the Joomla Project is easy and you can give as little or as much time as you want. Anyone can contribute on any level, not just developers.

If you think working with Joomla! is fun, wait until you start working on it. We're passionate about helping Joomla! users make the jump to becoming contributing members of the community. All participants and future participants are expected to comply with the Joomla Code of Conduct.

Helping the Joomla! Project

There are many ways you can help Joomla's development:

• Submit news about Joomla!. We syndicate all Joomla! related news on our announcements portal. If you have some Joomla! news that you would like to share with the community, please submit your short story, article, announcement or review here.
• Report bugs and request features in our trackers. Please read the article Filing bugs and issues for details on how we like our bug reports served up.
• Submit patches for new and/or fixed behavior. Please read the Patch submission guidelines, for details on how to submit a patch.
• Join the developer forums and share your ideas for how to improve Joomla!. We're always open to suggestions, although we're likely to be skeptical of large-scale suggestions without some code to back it up.
• Join any of the Working Groups and bring your personal expertise to the Joomla! community. More info about the different working groups can be found here.
