Is there a place for contributors other than developers?

The Debian Project needs many kinds of human knowledge. At this page you can find SOME examples and starting points. The list is not exhaustive.

Whatever skills you have, ask at users lists for guidance and include it here. http://lists.debian.org

The objectives are:

• Submit for votation a good suggestion of Code of Conduct. http://people.debian.org/~enrico/dcg/ch06.html

• Helping to solve flamewars. Debian is attempting to create a 'social committee' to address interproject personal conflicts. If you have experience in mediation or have suggestions for a conflict-resolution process, please email the debian-project mailing list or the Debian project leader (leader@debian.org) for more private issues.
