Designing new features
----------------------
If you like to help designing new features then start with reading the :doc:`Development
manual </develop>` and checkout our `roadmap <https://opnsense.org/about/road-map/>`__ as well as our `issue tracker <https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues>`__.
Before starting it is always a good to share your idea first with a core developer,
to do so you can use either:
*`github <https://github.com/opnsense/core/>`__ and `create a issue <https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/new>`__
and mention you volunteer for taking on the development task (we will correctly label it as enhancement or feature)
* find one of us on IRC/Freenode (#opnsense) and see if we are available to
discuss your idea.

Translations
------------
OPNsense has an active `translation project <https://translate.opnsense.org/projects/>`__,
currently supporting:
* Czech
* English
* French
* German
* Japanese
* Portuguese
* Russian
* Simplified Chinese
Working on translations is time consuming, but if you feel up to it and would
like to help adding another language, then please contact us via email (contact @ opnsense.org).

Documentation & wiki articles
-----------------------------
The easiest way to help with documentation is to write how-to type articles.
As the wiki & documentation project itself is written in **reStructuredText** you
can offer your content in this format (preferably as pull request), but other
formats are also possible, such as:
* markup with ./images/directory including the used images(in any)
* word document with embedded images (if any)
To include you documentation send it to contact @ opnsense.org. Make sure that:
* Your content does not include copyrighted material if you do not own the copyright yourself
* State that we may use the content under our Documentation Copyright as listed in the :doc:`legal` section.
