As with many Free Open Source programs, the support of the community is what makes any open source program better.
MyITCRM is no different. There are many ways you can contribute to this program.
So, what can you do to help?
A common misconception is that people think you need to know PHP or HTML or another programming language to be of help out. This is simply not true.We have listed a few areas were MyITCRM needs your help.
Report Bugs/Issue.
Reporting Bugs you have found in the software helps everyone in the long run. This makes the software much more stable and less frustrating for the end user(s).
Why not become an Issue Reporter to the development team. You can help collect information about the issue and create issues in the MyITCRM Issue Tracker. All you need is a good understanding of MyITCRM and how it works and also be able to type...and thats it.
Feature Requests.
Feature Requests no matter how small, may also help out many other users who may not have thought it could be possible. Whilst not all feature request get included in the main releases, if there is wider community requesting such a feature or similar then we will implement it as soon as we can. Why not even create a Poll in the forum and get people there to vote on your idea.
Documentation.
Great Documentation is by far the second most critical part of great software. I (Glen) admit that we have next to no documentation for myitcrm. Whilst we have made a start, we need so many more pages and tutorials written. Even if you could write just one page or tutorial, then that would be greatly appreciated by everyone.
Helping Others.
Scan through the forum and see if someone needs help and if you think you know the answer, then let them know.
Donations.
With your kind donations, almost all of donations made so far have gone into running the website throught web-hosting via linode and domain name renewals. We also bought the template you see on this website with donation monies.
Whilst we appreciate all the offers to help host the website to keep the costs down, hosting on shared hosting servers in my experince has not been great. With limitations on what can and can't be installed and possible x-cross-site vunrubilities higher on these servers and also having total control over the server especially for the Ruby Version coming up. Having our own server is a must.
Note: Should you wish to make a donation, we kindly ask that donations of $3 or more be made as anything less than this will amount will mostly go to paypal for the service and very little if any will go to MyITCRM.
