Interested in Contriutung Code to Joomla!

[mukete...@gmail.com]

Hi All,
My name is Mukete Stephan and I am a Computer Software Engineering Student from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology University of Buea Cameroon-Africa.

I came across this organization when I was looking at the organizations that have participated in the Google Summer of Code in the past few years.

I finally decided to join and contribute to this organization due to my love for open source, php and related frameworks.

I am very passionate in learning and will be grateful to receive help on where to start with Joomla. I am willing to give in my best for the development of these organization.

Thanks and hoping to here from you soon.
Mukete
At Your Service.

Depends on how you want to contribute.

As everyone else has said, Testers for PRs are always needed. Currently, there are about 297 open PR's. Of those only about 11 have received testing and the RTC tag for successful tests.

There are also about 212 open issues not addressed by a PR yet. so if you have the knowhow and time to figure out how to fix things, that is also needed.

Testing Instructions
https://docs.joomla.org/Testing_Joomla!_patches

Reading and cleaning up the Documentation is always a big project and is a good place to learn from and help.

You can always find more opportunities help on the volunteers site
https://volunteers.joomla.org/



PR = pull request, these are proposed code fixes
RTC = Ready to commit, these are patches that have been tested and could make it into a future version.

I'm currently asking for help in completing and validating the Code Standards implementation with PHPCS 2.7.x so developers can have access to the code style autofixers. https://github.com/joomla/coding-standards/pull/109

Additionally, there is lots of activity and help needed in Testing Joomla! 3.6.3 RC3 for release, completing the 3.7 and 4.0 versions of Joomla. We also have need for people to help with adding support for PHP7.1 and HHVM.

There is also a mailing group specific to the CMS development https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/joomla-dev-cms

With that being said, welcome to the community; and thanks for being willing to contribute.
