How To Volunteer?

Post by beartenor1 »

How do I volunteer to contribute a documentation wiki page to share my experience installing on openSuSE?

The wiki says to "please contact us" to volunteer, but doesn't say how. I don't use IRC and I can't find any other contact information on the site.

Probably the best way to reach the team is in the #transmission irc channel on freenode.

+1. I found no way to contact developers, create a new bug on bugtrack and even attach a diff to a forum topic, since both diff and zip extensions are disabled. There might be more people willing to contribute, but the process is really tricky.

You have to create an account to create a new ticket.

Certainly it's not the intention to scare people away.

Typically diffs are submitted via the trac ticket system. In the past most of the development discussion has taken place on freenode in #transmission. Though, in the past week three people have shown up in the forums wanting to discuss code -- so maybe we should consider doing more of the discussion in the forums...

I see. That seems somehow bugtrack registration is disabled for new users now.

I don't think it's disabled. What's the behavior that you're seeing that makes you think that?

Actually the absence of a link for registration. Following from http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ via 'add a new ticket' to http://trac.transmissionbt.com/newticket I see a 'forbidden' message, requesting to login. Following link to http://trac.transmissionbt.com/login I can see no option to register on any of these pages. Thank for the link you've sent to me :)

Thanks! That already has been solved. Hope that will help someone else.
