Tasks

A collection of tasks (not limited to programming) that we could use help with. Great for newcomers to the project!

Documentation

• FAQ: Go through the Geeklog FAQ, find and update all articles referring to the old config.php file, which has since been replaced with the web-based Configuration Admin panel.
• Review installation instructions. Compare with the typical installation problems people are having and add / update the instructions accordingly.

Programming

(Programming tasks are collected in our Bugtracker. We need to extract those that we feel are easy and doable tasks and list them here.)

Research

• We are looking for a replacement for the aging kses HTML filter. Find and evaluate alternatives.

Website

• We could use a new default theme ...
  • Alternatively: Clean up the default Professional theme. For example, there is a 1-2 pixel wide gap between the header and the blocks / site content. It could also use some help from someone with an eye for font sizes and spacing.

Marketing and such

• When you click to download OpenOffice.org, you are taken to this page that explains how you can contribute to OOo. Design a similar page for Geeklog.
• Design a flyer / handout (for inspiration, here's an old flyer and a poster that can also be used as a flyer).

Translation

Geeklog has been translated into quite a few languages. However, not all of the translations are up to date. Do you speak one of these languages?

• update an existing language file (look for untranslated English phrases)
  • many of the plugin language files have not been translated at all (and they are much smaller than the main language file)
• or create a new translation for a language that's not available yet
