You’ve used the RubyInstaller to get Ruby up and running on your Windows-based system, you love it, and you really want to help keep the RubyInstaller project moving forward.

But you’re not quite sure where to start. Or maybe you only have a teeny bit of time to contribute. Or maybe you’d like to contribute some tasty non-code goodies. Or maybe you’d like to help out with a monetary or other donation.

Fantastic!

And thanks for your interest in the RubyInstaller and your enthusiasm to jump right in and find a way to contribute.

A good place to start is to browse over the RubyInstaller TODO List which contains issues that the core developers believe need to be addressed in a timely manner. You’ll find a mix of easy, medium, and challenging things to sink your teeth into depending upon how much time you have to contribute.

If nothing on the TODO list excites you, below are a few other ideas that can really help out.

Testing

Mailing List Participation

Grass Roots Marketing

Documentation Wrangling

Bug Crushing

Contributing Code

UI & Graphics

Donations
