Get Involved

TODO: We are currently in the process of moving off Joomla! to Drupal.

1. Please drop us a line to get in touch with the lead developer. We will provide some necessary files you may need to get started.

2. Read the User Guide, in particular the Development section.

3. Review open issues on our issue queue to see what work needs to be done.

4. Fork the main repo and begin work in your local development environment.

   Depending on what type of development you're working on, it may be beneficial to run an environment similar to what we use on the development and production servers. It would be good if you run not less-than or greater-than:

   Pressflow Drupal 6.x
   OpenPublish Drupal Distribution 2.3-build441
   Apache 2.2.x
   MySQL 5.1.x
   PHP 5.2.x
   Varnish 2.x
   Memcached 1.4.x
   Apache Tomcat 6.0.x
   

   Our environment is pretty close to Pantheon's Project Mercury 1.1, if you want to build a new environment from scratch. Prepackaged environments are in the works.

5. Submit a Pull Request for review and inclusion.

Thanks in advance,
ZeitNews Team
