hesitate to contact us; every OpenSource can use some help.

<para>Help is needed (we are looking for documentation writers)

for keeping the &krusader; documentation up to date.
|
|
The draft explanation of new features is done by the developers
|
|
on the krusader-devel mailing list, but we need editors to add
|
|
this information in the handbook. By playing with the new
|
|
features these editors can give valuable information to the
|
|
developers for making the new features even better!</para>

</para>
|

<para>&krusader; is available in many languages, but
|
|
usually several translations do need an update and translations
|
|
to new languages are always welcome, please read the
|
|
&i18n-page-url; . Even when there is already a
|
|
translator for your native language, it is always helpful to have
|
|
a second or third translator ⪚ for proofreading.
|
|
Sometimes the regular translator is not available when a
|
|
translation update is needed (studies, holiday...). Please
|
|
contact the translator/s for your native language; your help will
|
|
be appreciated. Any translation (even partial translations) are
|
|
accepted by the &krusader;-Krew at any time (feature
|
|
freeze or not).</para>

<emphasis role="bold">OpenUsability</emphasis>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>Using a program, understanding its interface and getting
|
|
information out of it, is something that should always be clear
|
|
in every application - no matter how advanced your understanding
|
|
of operating systems is or how deep your computer literacy is.
|
|
For that reason &krusader; asked to be included in the
|
|
&openusability-url; project.</para>
|
|
<para>This project joins the software developers and usability
|
|
experts in an attempt to check all parts of a user interface for
|
|
the inappropriate entries. Its main goal is making user
|
|
interfaces and dialogs understandable and friendly to every user.
|
|
We need our users comments, your comments, to make things better.
|
|
In case you find a part of the program's interface to be too
|
|
complicated, please do help us correct it and make it
|
|
better.</para>

<emphasis role="bold">Donations</emphasis>

<para>Actually, we hadn't considered donations, until users asked

us for a way to &donate-url; to the project.

<emphasis role="bold">Porting &krusader; to

|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>&krusader; is written using &TQt; as
|
|
well as &tde;libs. As long as &tde;libs
|
|
does not run on &Windows;, porting
|
|
&krusader; is not an option. However, we do believe
|
|
that once &Qt;4-GPL is released, efforts will be made
|
|
to port &kde;libs to &Windows;, and if that
|
|
happens, we're in business and then we need a maintainer for
|
|
porting &krusader; to &Windows;.</para>
