Recommendation

Contributing

Feel free to fork and optimize the code or to pull requests. We think the mediakit project is a good idea and perfect to seriously push the digitalisation of schools with a low budget beside the usual commercial ways. But therefore it needs a strong and active community. Be part of it!
