How Can I Help?

[dgoodwin]

I have been using Linux as a home user for about 7 years. I started with Suse (before Novell) and moved to Ubuntu and recently decided to give KDE a try again. So with a fresh install of 9.10 (which worked great) I have a question. How can I learn how to help others. Specifically I would love to learn how to give back to the community if someone would be willing to teach me how to help with bugs or anything like that. Thanks

Re: How Can I Help?

Thank you I will start reading the links to bugs that Rog131 posted. I appreciate the advise. I have been a home user and have no coding capability but want to do what I can to help. I have a bug in K3b not ripping to MP3 and when I find the answer I will post it to help others out.

Re: How Can I Help?

Welcome, dgoodwin! Good to have you here.

Even easier and more accessible to start: just get fairly good at something here (with your Kubuntu OS), then jump in to help answer people's questions. Examples: KDE 4; Firefox/Thunderbird; wireless; playing multimedia; any hardware or software topic (see the boards for examples, especially for examples that seem to give people the most problems--see dibl's list of top FAQ--it's pinned and it's in his signature line).
