What you can help us with

There are many ways to contribute to Firebug. Here's a list of things you can participate in.

Coding

Improving Firebug itself

Of course that's the main part of our project and surely most people would like to join our team, because they miss a feature in Firebug or see a bug, that they would like to fix.

Creating test cases

We use an automated test suite to check, if Firebug is still working as expected after some changes in the code base. To cover all the existing functionality as well as new features in upcoming versions of Firebug, this test suite continuously needs to be enhanced by new tests and old ones need to be updated.

Translating

Firebug is already available in many different languages. We use BabelZilla as platform for these translations. So if you're missing your language in Firebug or want to improve existing translations, you just have to register at BabelZilla and send a request there to become an official translator. If you have questions about how this is working, you can ask in the discussion group.

File issues

Donate

Firebug comes to you for free. Though donations help us to keep the continuous development up. We appreciate your support a lot!
So feel free to help us by donating.

Spread the word

If you're happy with Firebug, you should tell the world. Write forums entries, blog posts, comments in social networks, news groups. Let the people know, what you think about it!

Also, if you don't feel up to participating in the Firebug development, but you know someone, that could probably help us, suggest him to join us. Every new contributor is welcome!
