Here is your opportunity to contribute to the Krusader project. There are things that need to be done, but can't be done by us. If you feel you can help, do not hesitate to contact us; every OpenSource can use some help. Please also check the contribute page on our website for more recent information. Thanks!

Documentation

Help is needed (we are looking for documentation writers) for keeping the Krusader documentation up to date. The draft explanation of new features is done by the developers on the krusader-devel mailing list, but we need editors to add this information in the handbook. By playing with the new features these editors can give valuable information to the developers for making the new features even better!

Krusader Extensions

Please upload your favourite extensions at kde-files.org, so that they become available for the Krusader community. Maybe they will be shipped by default with Krusader at the next release :-)) It features Keymaps, Colormaps, User Actions, JavaScript Extensions.

User Actions can be discussed in our UserActions Forum, please join!

Spread the Word Krusader

If you like Krusader, let people know! Write articles and reviews for internet or print publications. Encourage your friends to give Krusader a try. Participate in forums to help others in the community.

GUI Translations

Krusader is available in many languages, but usually several translations do need an update and translations to new languages are always welcome, please read the i18n page . Even when there is already a translator for your native language, it is always helpful to have a second or third translator e.g. for proofreading. Sometimes the regular translator is not available when a translation update is needed (studies, holiday...). Please contact the translator/s for your native language; your help will be appreciated. Any translation (even partial translations) are accepted by the Krusader-Krew at any time (feature freeze or not).

Documentation Translations

This documentation is translatable, if you are interested in translating this documentation please contact Frank.

OpenUsability

Using a program, understanding its interface and getting information out of it, is something that should always be clear in every application - no matter how advanced your understanding of operating systems is or how deep your computer literacy is. For that reason Krusader asked to be included in the OpenUsability.org project.

This project joins the software developers and usability experts in an attempt to check all parts of a user interface for the inappropriate entries. Its main goal is making user interfaces and dialogs understandable and friendly to every user. We need our users comments, your comments, to make things better. In case you find a part of the program's interface to be too complicated, please do help us correct it and make it better.

Donations

Actually, we hadn't considered donations, until users asked us for a way to Donate to the project. Krusader is, and always will be free, in all the terms of the GNU Public License.

Packagers

We are always in need of packagers for different distro rpm's, deb's, etc. All help is welcome.

Users' feedback for the Krusader Mac® OS X port

There is a Mac® OS-X port with the help of fink , the port is maintained by Catalin Hritcu, all feedback is welcome.

Porting Krusader to Windows®

Krusader is written using Qt™ as well as KDElibs. As long as KDElibs does not run on Windows®, porting Krusader is not an option. However, we do believe that once Qt™4-GPL is released, efforts will be made to port KDElibs to Windows®, and if that happens, we're in business and then we need a maintainer for porting Krusader to Windows®.

FAQ

If you have a question that is missing in the FAQ, we would like to hear it.

Others

Feedback, Bug reports, patches, etc. are always welcome! An open source project's greatest strength is derived from getting user feedback.

On some websites like freshmeat.net or KDE-APPS.org you can give a rate, if you like Krusader go to one of these sites and rate Krusader, thanks.
