Be a part of a progressive and ethical project

Hubzilla is free and open source. It's developed and optimized collaboratively since 2010 by people from all over the world. Even if you're not a programmer, you can get involved and make a difference.

Members, associates or patrons of the Hubzilla Association

You're invited to become a member, an associate or a patron of the Hubzilla Association. Please use this link to see its purpose.

Contribute to the translation of the Hubzilla interface

The translation of the Hubzilla interface can be done through Transifex here.

You can also contact Hilmar if you want to use or improve the app i18n which allows the translation of the Hubzilla interface within Hubzilla itself (see this thread for details).


Contribute to the User Documentation

The User Documentation is located under /help/member/member_guide#Overview of each Hubzilla installation.

There is a forum dedicated to improving the User Documentation. You're encouraged to join the documentation team there: hubzilla.org/channel/documentation.

It's also possible to edit the User Documentation directly in the core repository using git.
