= Document: User Manual, Website and Wiki =

FreedomBox needs better documentation for users and contributors.

If you wish to contribute to the !FreedomBox [[FreedomBox|wiki]], you can create a account and start editing. There is a plan to export the wiki pages as the official !FreedomBox manual. For contributing to website and documentation please start a discussion on the !FreedomBox [[http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss|mailing list]].

= Translate =

All text visible to users of FreedomBox needs to be localized to various

 * !FreedomBox documentation
 * !FreedomBox [[https://freedomboxfoundation.org|website]] and [[FreedomBox|wiki]]

=== Donate ===

The [[https://freedomboxfoundation.org|FreedomBox Foundation]] is a Delaware non-profit corporation in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) federal nonprofit recognition from the IRS. !FreedomBox project is run by volunteers. You can help the project financially by donating via !PayPal, Bitcoin or by mailing a check. Please see the [[https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/donate/|donation page]] for details on how to donate.

=== Document: User Manual, Website and Wiki ===

!FreedomBox needs better documentation for users and contributors. !FreedomBox manual is prepared by aggregating various pages on the wiki and exporting to various formats. The manual is then used in Plinth and elsewhere.

If you wish to contribute to the !FreedomBox [[FreedomBox|wiki]] (and consequently the !FreedomBox manual), you can create a wiki account and start editing.

For contributing to the website please start a discussion on the !FreedomBox [[http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss|mailing list]].

=== Quality Assurance ===

 * !FreedomBox already runs on many platforms and it is not possible for developers to test all possible platforms. If you have one of the supported hardware you can help with testing !FreedomBox on the platform.

 * When an application is made available on !FreedomBox, not all of its functionality is tested in the real world by developer doing the work. Deploying the application and testing it will help ensure high quality applications in !FreedomBox.

See the [[FreedomBox/QualityAssurance|quality assurance]] page for a basic list of test cases to check for and information on reporting bugs.

=== Localization ===

All text visible to users of !FreedomBox needs to be localized to various languages. This translation work includes:

 * [[FreedomBox/Plinth|Plinth]] web interface for !FreedomBox
 * !FreedomBox documentation
 * !FreedomBox [[https://freedomboxfoundation.org|website]] and [[FreedomBox|wiki]]
 * Individual applications that !FreedomBox exposes to users.


The primary user interface (Plinth) was internationalized in the [[FreedomBox/ReleaseNotes#Version_0.7_.282015-12-13.29|0.7 release]]. You can contribute to the localization effort using the web-based tool at [[https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/freedombox/|Weblate]] or directly to the source tree via [[https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/tree/master/plinth/locale|GitHub]].

If you wish to see !FreedomBox available for one of your languages, please start a discussion on the !FreedomBox discuss [[http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss|mailing list]] or on the [[irc://irc.debian.org/freedombox|#freedombox IRC]] channel to avoid double translations.
