Revision as of 09:15, 20 February 2005

There are several ways in which you can contribute to the NeoOffice/J project.

Donate money - Currently (January 2005), there are only TWO developers programming NeoOffice/J. Both are employed full-time and contribute their free time. To help pay for the out-of-pocket costs associated with developing and supporting NeoOffice/J (bandwidth!) so they can focus on improving NeoOffice/J, you are invited to make a donation at http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/donate.php.
- If you notice a bug, report it so the developers can fix it!
Write documentation - Help update and maintain this wiki so new users will always have up-to-date information.
- If you like NeoOffice/J, spread the word.
There have also been some discussions on starting a NeoOffice/J user group to support NeoOffice/J and a foundation to further the development of NeoOffice/J and open-source software on the Mac generally. If you have ideas or experience regarding either of these topics, check out respective forum threads on Trinity: User group Foundation
See this list of things to do for more ideas.

This is an open-source project, so if you want to help, contact Patrick Luby or Ed Peterlin at the Trinity forums. Explain your area of expertise and we can go from there.

The NeoOffice/C project is no longer under active development so that all efforts can be focused on the continued improvement of NeoOffice/J.
