Just like Joomla! the gallery component JoomGallery is an Open Source project and exists because of its community.
Which means that everything in the project is developed and maintained by the users of the JoomGallery. It is our wish (of JoomGallery friends) that the project can continue as an Open Source project.
In line with the spirit of Open Source, the product and its source code are made available publicly and free of charge.
In return we want the users of JoomGallery to contribute to the project. The exact contribution to the project is up to each person to decide according to his or her own abilities and discretion. However, it is essential that everyone tries to give something back to the project so that the JoomGallery can continue to exist in its current form.
Following is an incomplete list of possible activities to help supporting our beloved gallery component:
- Further development of the software code on GitHub
Implement your own feature requests and improvements and share your result with the community creating a pull request. This way everyone can benefit from your improvements. - Realise your desired functions
Do you have a feature request but you do not have the skills to implement it yourself? Open an issue on GitHub and find a developer to implement the function for you. Feel free to contact us if you would like to hire a developer from the JoomGallery friends team. - Testing new software code
All changes to the code must be extensively tested before they can be incorporated into the main project and published with the next release. Help out with testing and report found bugs to the developer (no programming skills required). - Active involvement in the forum
Share your knowledge and experience on JoomGallery with other users and participate as a supporter in the forum. Discuss with the community about new features and future plans of the component. - Write documentation about the component and its extensions
Extensive software needs extensive documentation. Send us missing articles or suggestions for change or improvements and we will publish it on the website. - Translate the software into one of the many supported languages
The texts of JoomGallery consist of over 2,000 pieces of text, which wouldlike to be translated into over 30 languages. Help to translate missing parts of the text in your preferred language. - Become a moderator in the forum or on the official project website
