You are welcome to contribute to DokuWiki and join the development of DokuWiki by becoming a DokuWiki contributor.

What you want to contribute is of course up to you — you should “scratch your own itches” first. If you need some DokuWiki ideas of what is missing you should have a look at the DokuWiki bugs (DokuWiki bugtracker) or on the ideas | ideas pages. You could also consider adoption | adoption for adopting a DokuWiki plugin or DokuWiki template. Begin by reading the DokuWiki Getting Started chapter.

Working together is more fun. The DokuWiki community needs a lot of different skills and is organized in teams. Please feel free to join one or just hang around the DokuWiki mailinglist and DokuWiki irc | irc channel for DokuWiki development talk. There are also irc_meetups | irc_meetups for regular IRC meetups, bughunting | bughunting for bughunting weekends where eh, bugs are fixed, and sometimes DokuWiki developers meet IRL at DokuWiki hackfest | hackfest.

DokuWiki was a programmer mentoring organization for 2011's gsoc | gsoc Google Summer of Code. If you are interested in getting involved with DokuWiki development via this kind of initiative please contact us.
