No matter what your area of expertise is, you can still contribute. You'll get all the help you need to get started. Just create a GitHub issue for anything you want to work on, and ask questions or send in a pull request.

These are some ways you can help :

Are you into Ruby/Rails ?

  1. Work on new features, pick one of the items in VisualCloud Roadmap
  2. Work on bug fixes if you find any that you may be able to help with. You'll get enough help to nail it.
  3. Add more tests to code which lacks enough tests
  4. Refactor and cleanup code smells
  5. Improve readability/style

Are you into Javascript ?

  1. Work on an MV* framework for the front end
  2. Add a testing framework !
  3. Refactor and cleanup code smells
  4. Improve readability/style

Are you good with UI ?

VisualCloud uses Bootstrap with Darkstrap theme. Icons are from Font Awesome. There's a lot of styling left to do, and a lot of text can be replaced with more intuitive icons. If you need help with getting started, raise an issue in GitHub issue page

Found a bug ?

Log the bug in the issue tracker. Be sure to include all relevant information, like the versions of Ruby you're using. A gist of the code that caused the issue as well as any error messages are also very helpful. Want to fix the bug ? We'll be glad to help you nail it.
