How to help improving MythTV

Everyone has one or more skills to help improving MythTV. You just have to remember that MythTV is a combination of technical and non-technical efforts. Independent from your skills, you always find one or takst below to help make MythTV even beter than it is right now.

Take a look and choose how you can help best.


Mainaining the MythWiki

of course, you can help writing and editing material right here on the Wiki.

Improving the manual

There's a project underway to create a User Manual which is starting to pick up steam.

Promoting MythTV

Help us bringing MythTV to the rest of us by writing articles, references, talking in forums, etc.

internationalizing/translating

If you have language skills, you can work on internationalizing/translating the product. This is needed in the core system as well as the modules.

Creating and improving MythTV themes

If you are interested in creating a new theme, read the theme development guide section for how to get started.

Testing MythTV

Beta testing new features is always appreciated. One does not need to be a developer to pull code from SVN and compile it - but you do need to be aware that going to SVN code implies a certain responsibility on the user's part to debug their own problems, file useful bugreports, and be able to downgrade or upgrade accordingly to fix issues.

Developer documentation

Documentation often lags behind features. The mythtv-commits mailing list provides information on what has been coded into the system recently and updating documentation here or in the official docs on mythtv.org is a welcome contribution.
