Builder

Read the Documentation

We've just started writing our new documentation for Builder and are in need of people to read, test, and report back to us if it was helpful. We also need more documentation written. Writing documentation is a great way to learn the Builder code-base.

Help with Testing and Quality Assurance

One great way to develop your skills is to learn about how software is built by testing it. You'll often find bugs and oversights and learn how we fix them during the development cycle. Join us on IRC to help us make Builder a better, more tested product!

Write a Tutorial!

If you are using Builder we would love for you to write a tutorial on some small aspect that you use. You'll be doing your part to make sure things are easier for the next person that comes along. Get in touch with us on IRC.
