First and foremost, thank you for your interest in contributing to Ente 🙏
There are many ways to contribute, and most of them don't require writing code.
This is perhaps the most impactful contribution you can make. Spread the word. Online on your favorite social media channels. Offline to your friends and family who are looking for a privacy-friendly alternative to big tech.
Just hang around, enjoy the vibe. Answer someone's query on our Discord, or pile on in the sporadic #off-topic rants there. Chuckle (or wince!) at our Twitter memes. Suggest a new feature in our Github Discussions, or upvote the existing ones that you feel we should focus on first. Provide your opinion on existing threads.
These might seem like small things, but it provides us energy. Knowing that there is a community of people who care for what we are building.

If your language is not listed for translation, please create a GitHub issue to have it added. It is okay to have partial translations. Once ~90% of the strings in a language get translated, we will start surfacing it in the apps.
Thank you for your support.
Coming soon!
The help guides and FAQs for users of Ente products are also open source, and can be edited in a wiki-esque manner by our community members. More than the quantity, we feel this helps improve the quality and approachability of the documentation by bringing in more diverse viewpoints and familiarity levels.
If you'd like to contribute code, it is best to start small.
Each of the individual product/platform specific directories in this repository have instructions on setting up a dev environment and making changes. The issues labelled "good first issues" should be good starting points. Once you have a bearing, you can head on to issues labelled "help wanted".
If you're planning on adding a new feature or making any other substantial change, please discuss it with us. Discussing your idea with us first ensures that everyone is on the same page before you start working on your change.
If you haven't already done so, consider starring this repository.
