The participate page is always there for pointers, but if you look for more exciting things to work on, we have plenty of areas where you could have leg space for creativity and autonomous work.
We are still lacking (human) resources to work on the following topics:
- Link button revolution. We’d like to go from the current ugly stack of buttons, to something authoritative, elegant, and simple — think spreadfirefox. We’d be much better off with five sizes and ten buttons, with a single icon.
- CSS mastership. We’re maniac about accessibility and legibility, but could still do better. Improving font rendition on IE, making sure things will display fine when we release a certain translation, adapting to mobile devices browsers, are things we’re thinking about.
- Hacking. Our website is written in PHP, Javascript and HTML. We are not experts in any of those technologies, so there is enough room for improvement and optimization in that area. You can also help with fixing bugs or make suggestions.
- Elegant web design. Accessibility and simplicity are your mottoes? This might be for you. We’re even thinking about a whole new design for the website. Something a little more professional, yet simple and organic [1,2,3].
- Multi-cultural expertise. If you know what it takes to reach the Japanese community, or how to best manage cross-border variations in languages —well, you can educate us =)
Enthusiastic coulda-woulda-shoulda talkers are easy to find. Participants who get things done are priceless. If you think you can help, feel free to start working, make yourself known, and we’ll hand you the keys. Tens of daily visitors will benefit from your skills, and you’ll get eternal gratitude from the rest of us! =)
