The User Manual is important for beginners as well as advanced users searching for a specific feature. However maintaining the manual is a big task the digiKam core team can't handle alone... 0024 0025 And that’s were you come in. If you are an advanced user then we need you to update old sections or write explanations of new features. But even if you have the feeling you are not experienced enough to write something, you can still update screenshots or translate in different languages. If you benefit from the work others did on digiKam it is a great (and easy) opportunity to give something back to the project and the community. 0026 0027 The `README file <https://invent.kde.org/documentation/digikam-doc/-/blob/master/README.md>`_ from the documentation repository lists all details to help with this manual. 0028 0029 Reporting Bug 0030 ------------- 0031 0032 digiKam is an Open Source project.

You do not need to be a software developer. You can help with documentation, translation and user interface design, or just contribute really good ideas to the wish-list. You can also get involved by testing early development code as it is being developed and providing feedback to the developers. Of course, if you are a software developer then you can help to make digiKam the best digital photograph application there is. 0048 0049 The `Contribute page <https://www.digikam.org/contribute/>`_ from project web-site group all necessary information to be involved on the project. 0050
