Chapter 1: Introducing Plone
Getting Involved in Plone's Development
Although Plone has an impressive list of features, its list of "wants" is even more impressive. For this reason, the project is always on the lookout for new people willing to contribute time for the project.
Fortunately, because Plone is focused on the end user, there's a need for a very broad spectrum of disciplines. Volunteers in a range of areas, rather than just coders or Web developers, are welcomed. Plone needs user interface developers, usability experts, graphic designers, translators, writers, and testers. You can find the current development status on the Plone Web site at http://plone.org/development, and the best way to get involved is to join the mailing lists or join the developers on an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel.
