+ <para>Here is your opportunity to &contribute-url; to
+ the &krusader; project. There are things that need to
+ be done, but can't be done by us. If you feel you can help, do not
+ hesitate to contact us; every OpenSource can use some help.
+ Please also check the &contribute-url; page on our
+ website for more recent information. Thanks!</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">Documentation</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>Help is needed (we are looking for documentation writers)
+ for keeping the &krusader; documentation up to date.
+ The draft explanation of new features is done by the developers
+ on the krusader-devel mailing list, but we need editors to add
+ this information in the handbook. By playing with the new
+ features these editors can give valuable information to the
+ developers for making the new features even better!</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">&krusader;
+ Extensions</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>Please upload your favourite extensions at
+ &kde-files-url;, so that they become available for the
+ &krusader; community. Maybe they will be shipped by
+ default with &krusader; at the next release :-)) It

+ <ulink url="http://krusader.sourceforge.net/spread.php">let

+ <emphasis role="bold">GUI Translations</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>&krusader; is available in many languages, but
+ usually several translations do need an update and translations
+ to new languages are always welcome, please read the
+ &i18n-page-url; . Even when there is already a
+ translator for your native language, it is always helpful to have
+ a second or third translator &eg; for proofreading.
+ Sometimes the regular translator is not available when a
+ translation update is needed (studies, holiday...). Please
+ contact the translator/s for your native language; your help will
+ be appreciated. Any translation (even partial translations) are
+ accepted by the &krusader;-Krew at any time (feature
+ freeze or not).</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">Documentation Translations</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>This documentation is translatable, if you are interested
+ in translating this documentation please contact Frank.</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">OpenUsability</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>Using a program, understanding its interface and getting
+ information out of it, is something that should always be clear
+ in every application - no matter how advanced your understanding
+ of operating systems is or how deep your computer literacy is.
+ For that reason &krusader; asked to be included in the
+ &openusability-url; project.</para>
+ <para>This project joins the software developers and usability
+ experts in an attempt to check all parts of a user interface for
+ the inappropriate entries. Its main goal is making user
+ interfaces and dialogs understandable and friendly to every user.
+ We need our users comments, your comments, to make things better.
+ In case you find a part of the program's interface to be too
+ complicated, please do help us correct it and make it
+ better.</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">Donations</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>Actually, we hadn't considered donations, until users asked
+ us for a way to &donate-url; to the project.
+ &krusader; is, and always will be free, in all the
+ terms of the GNU Public License.</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">Packagers</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>We are always in need of packagers for different distro
+ rpm's, deb's, etc. All help is welcome.</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">Users' feedback for the
+ &krusader; &MacOS; X port</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>There is a &macosx-port-url;
+ with the help of &fink-url; , the port is
+ maintained by
+ <ulink url="http://hritcu.wordpress.com/about/">Catalin Hritcu</ulink>,
+ all feedback is welcome.</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">Porting &krusader; to
+ &Windows;</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>&krusader; is written using &Qt; as
+ well as &kde;libs. As long as &kde;libs
+ does not run on &Windows;, porting
+ &krusader; is not an option. However, we do believe
+ that once &Qt;4-GPL is released, efforts will be made
+ to port &kde;libs to &Windows;, and if that
+ happens, we're in business and then we need a maintainer for
+ porting &krusader; to &Windows;.</para>
+ <para>
+ <emphasis role="bold">FAQ</emphasis>
+ </para>
+ <para>If you have a question that is missing in the
+ &faq-lnk;, we would like to hear it.</para>

+ <para>
+ <link linkend="faqg_wish">Feedback</link>,
+ <link linkend="faqg_bug_report">Bug reports</link>, patches,
+ &etc; are always welcome! An open source project's
+ greatest strength is derived from getting user feedback.</para>
+ <para>On some websites like &freshmeat-url; or
+ &kde-apps-url; you can give a rate, if you like
+ &krusader; go to one of these sites and rate
+ &krusader;, thanks.</para>
