We need help to make this repo work. New contributors often need help fitting their contributions into the repo. Feel free to offer help to new contributors, especially if you share a language with them.

eshellman commented 2 years ago

@LuigiImVector thanks for all the assistance you've given. Let us know if you're interested in being an editor.

Woow, I would love to be an editor. What do i have to do to become one?

CleanMachine1 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'd love to become an active member here.

I love the idea of this project and it has actually helped me to program :)

As someone who learns from books, this repos ethics and intentions fit me well.

I currently also work on tldr-pages so my entire time is slightly limited however I always read the majority of my notifications.

So overall, as asked above, what do I have to do to become one?

eshellman commented 2 years ago

@CleanMachine1 thanks for all your comments and contributions! You're already helping a lot. Beginners especially appreciate assistance.

CleanMachine1 commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the acknowledgement. :)

Should I continue with contributions and small reviews to gain a collaborator/maintainer status.

eshellman commented 2 years ago

yes please!

eshellman commented 2 years ago

Thanks to our volunteers, we've managed to merge or close over a thousand PRs in October!

CleanMachine1 commented 2 years ago

I am unaware whether there has been any changes to wanting more members/volunteers however I'd like to give a little notice that, if possible, I would like to work towards being a member or the repo. If not, I'll still continue to review the PRs whenever I am free!

eshellman commented 2 years ago

@CleanMachine1 have resent the invitation from last year

CleanMachine1 commented 2 years ago

Oh, well thank you very much, I was unaware I had actually been invited since it doesn't show in the notifications tab! I have joined the repo and will continue to contribute :)

@TomB2001 you are welcome. Could you translate docs to German? Recently we've updated some parts of CONTRIBUTING.md, HOWTO.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md. See #6301 #5351 and #6724

Please, read contributing guidelines first

actuallyyun commented 1 year ago

Hey, @eshellman I speak English and Chinese, and I would love to be an editor. How could I become one? Also, I think this problem could benefit from improving the CONTRIBUTING guidelines as well. I am happy to work on this if you think it's a good idea.

eshellman commented 1 year ago

@torn4dom4n can you look at #7838 ?

eshellman commented 1 year ago

@actuallyyun yes improvements on Contributing would be helpful

ValeriaD23 commented 1 year ago

Hello ;-},

I am eager to help in this repo in any way that I can! For example; if there are translations needed in the English-Dutch language pair, I am born and raised in The Netherlands and fluent in English... If I can be of help in another way, I would like to ask some guidance in how to approach this in this repo. Greetz

Can I post cybersecurity contents?

eshellman commented 11 months ago

October is really busy here! As I don't have time to look at PR's that don't pass tests, I'm sure many of those participants could use a bit of encouragagement.
