Axion is the product of volunteer effort.
The following sections describe some ways you can contribute to the development and evolution of Axion.
Like most open source software, Axion was created because its authors find it useful, and was released under an open source license with the hope that others will find it useful as well.
Using Axion for your own work and providing feedback to the development team is perhaps the most important way you can contribute to the project, since your feedback is what helps the project evolve to meet the needs of the user community better.
To assist Axion in this fashion, you may want to:
Read the User's Guide for information on obtaining, installing and using Axion.
Join Axion's mailing lists to communicate with other Axion users and developers.
Report defects and other issues to the development team.
If you'd like to contribute source code, user or developer documentation to Axion, in addition to the above steps you may want to:
Read Axion's Guidelines to better understand the procedures for proposing and making changes to Axion.
Review the Developer's Guide for instructions on how to work with Axion's source repositories and information on how Axion is designed and developed.
Contribute patches as described in the guidelines document.
If you are looking for ways to contribute, you may want to take a look at the open or deferred issues in our bug database, or at the list of unimplemented features.
