#Friendica needs new contributors!

I'm not used to do this, but with the large influx of new users and node admins recently coming from #Twitter, our small team is now behind the curve for handling support requests, bug reports and bring about much-needed features.

The project is built on a #PHP / #MySQL platform, but we also need people to be able to assist others just using the software to give developers some space.

If you're willing and able to help, please follow @helpers and the project on Github: github.com/friendica/friendica

Thank you!

What can they do in the Friendica project? 🤔
My technical background is that I have been writing some web applications for the company since about 2000 with PHP (from version 3), mySQL/MariaDB and Postgres. I also use JavaScript and HTML, and since version 2.x Smarty as a template engine.
In addition, I used to write scripts with Perl and now 99.9% with Python. 😊

Version management used to be in Subversion and since GIT has been around, only in GIT, but since Github was taken over by Microsoft, I don't use the service anymore, I host it myself first with Gogs and then with Gitea. 🤔

What can they do in the Friendica project?
  • On the GitHub project page, we have a few issues labeled as "Junior Jobs".
  • The official wiki has outdated information. @tobias can grant write access to it.
  • Even the embarked documentation could use an overhaul, it's stored in the project files but it's mostly Markdown so no need for a technical background.
  • Support requests on GitHub are often lacking context information, asking for it ahead of a developer would be appreciated.
  • Mutual aid on the @helpers forum goes a long way, it's already pretty active in German, a little less so in English.

Gib es irgendwo ein Howto für eine Entwicklungsumgebung? Reicht es einfach, lokal Friendica zu installieren und eine "Wegwerf Domain" drauf zu werfen? Oder nutzt ihr dann eine localhost Oder wie entwickelt und testet ihr lokal?
Würde mir gerne mal ein paar "Junior" Issues ansehen, um damit in den Code zu kommen und dann potentiell mehr zu machen. :)

i'm using DDEV for local development. I've fired up Friendica within 5 minutes with the bonus that the whole config can be added to git. No more "works on my machine" as everybody is using the same config.

Never heard about DDEV before, but found their website by searching. Thanks for that hint! I will have a look at it (atm I don't even know what it does, seems to be docker related).
