TRANSLATE
Contributing is quick, meaningful and rewarding. Every translation helps our tools be accessible to even more people around the world. Whether you have time to translate one phrase or an entire project, your effort will make a global difference!
GOOGLE SUMMER OF CODE
We participate in the Summer Of Code every year we can (7 years and counting!). It’s a fantastic experience for coders and students wishing to contribute to FOSS. Checkout summerofcode.withgoogle.com.
BETA-TEST
Most of our softwares are built every night off the current trunk. download.openzim.org.
REPORT
Ideally, you should be able to find the appropriate repository on Github and open an issue there. You can also open it in the overview repository of the appropriate org and we’ll move it to the correct repository.
