I want to help NeoMutt
Brilliant. There are lots of ways you can contribute to the NeoMutt project.
Whatever your skills, or time available, you can help.
Easy Coding Tasks
These are a great way to start coding on NeoMutt.
A mentor will walk you though all the steps to making your first contribution.
Translation
Are you a fluent speaker of a language, other than English?
You could help our translation effort. It’s simple to do and would benefit so many people.
Discussions
When developing new features, the developers would love to benefit from your experience.
If an issue is labelled “status:discuss”, then you’re encouraged to offer your thoughts and opinions.
