Re: Stumpy's question about contributing

Hi Stumpy,

I replied to your email, but it was returned as undelivered with a
message stating that your email address is invalid ("Recipient address
rejected: User unknown"), so I'm replying here on qubes-users. :)

Stumpy asked a great question about how folks can contribute aside from
donating and writing code.

Thanks for asking! We actually have a list of such ways right here:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/contributing/

Many items on this list don't require any money or programming
knowledge. In particular, it's always helpful to test new releases and
updates:

The just-released 4.0.4-rc1 is a great opportunity to do that:

However, individual package updates are also very important, and they
often don't receive as much feedback as they need:

Thank you for your willingness to contribute!
