Whether you\u2019re a budding developer, a pixel-pushing-perfect designer, or just like helping out, we\u2019re always looking for people to help make WordPress even better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WordPress.org<\/em><\/p>\n

It really doesn\u2019t matter what your skill level with WordPress is, and you don\u2019t need to be a developer or coder to be involved. There will be plenty of people on hand to help you get started and there are a number of areas where you can make a difference.<\/p>\n

Core\u00a0<\/strong>You can write code, fix bugs, debate decisions, and help with WordPress development. You will need to have a local development tool set up on your laptop.<\/p>\n

UI<\/strong>\u00a0The UI group is focused on the designing and developing the user interface. It\u2019s a home for designers and UXers alike.<\/p>\n

Accessibility<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure that WordPress core and all of WordPress\u2019 resources are accessible. You will need to have a local development tool set up on your laptop.<\/p>\n

Mobile<\/strong>\u00a0Help with the iOS, Android, Windows, and Blackberry apps. They need designers, UX experts, and testers to give users a smooth experience on every device.<\/p>\n

Support<\/strong>\u00a0Answering a question in the support forums is one of the easiest ways to start contributing. Everyone knows the answer to something! You may need to have access to a test WordPress site (to be able to reproduce problems people mention).<\/p>\n

Polyglots\u00a0<\/strong>WordPress is used all over the world and in many different languages. If you\u2019re a polyglot, contribute by translating WordPress into your own language.<\/p>\n

Themes\u00a0<\/strong>Reviewing Themes sharpens your own Theme development skills. You can help out and join the discussion on the blog.\u00a0You will need to have a local development tool set up on your Laptop.<\/p>\n

Documentation<\/strong>\u00a0Helping people help themselves when they get stuck.<\/p>\n

Community<\/strong>\u00a0Working to support events, to create outreach and training programs, and generally support the community.<\/p>\n

Meta<\/strong>\u00a0The Meta team makes WordPress.org, provides support, and builds tools for use by all the contributor groups.<\/p>\n
