How to Contribute
Did you know that according to the popular 1% rule, only 1% of the users of an internet community add content, while the other 99% of the users only consume content? However there is plenty ways to contribute and to help your favorite project to flourish, even without writing code. As follows are some examples on ways to contribute.
Reporting issues
Reporting issues is a great way to contribute (if done correctly). The software projects are using bug trackers to keep track of bugs and to link patches or changes with these bug reports.
See the article where to report bugs to find out where you can report bugs.
