I am not a programmer, how can I contribute?

There are many ways to contribute to the GNOME effort if you are a not a programmer. You can help writing documentation (contact the people at docs@gnome.org for this), you can review the existing documentation and fix typos, format, and make the documentation more clear or enhance the examples.

If you are a non-english speaker and you understand english, you can also help with the translation effort. This means translating application textual strings and documentation. To work on this, please subscribe to the gnome-i18n@nuclecu.unam.mx mailing list. To subscribe send a message to majordomo@nuclecu.unam.mx and in the body of the message put "subscribe gnome-i18n". You can view the current status for our language translation effort in the http://www.gnome.org/i18n web page.

If you have a good idea or a great concept on how to improve the user interface experience in GNOME, please subscribe to the gnome-gui-list@gnome.org. The user interface team is lead by Jim Cape who maintains a web page with the suggested improvements at http://www.jcinteractive.com/gnome-ui/
