Here is information about topics that need help. If you have any questions feel free to contact the listed responsible person or ask in the forum.

We greatly appreciate any kind of help. We are so enthusiastic that we are even happy if you just correct spelling mistakes in the wiki.

Specific Tasks

Write an article about Limesurvey in your national wikipedia

Right now only the english wikipedia can offer an article about limesurvey. In all the other languages no one has ever written a word about this great software. Can you believe it?

Therefore we are looking for people who can contribute an article about limesurvey in their language. You can use the english wikipedia article about limesurvey as a basis. Click on the following link to get to wikipedia in a certain language and then chose "create" on top left of the new wikipedia page.

- German Wikipedia Thanks!

- French Wikipedia Merci à Zone-ViP Network !

- Spanish Wikipedia Muchissimas gracias à Eduardo Lobaton!

- Dutch Wikipedia hartelijk bedankt!

- Polish Wikipedia Thanks for your support!

- Italian Wikipedia Grazie a Raneri Web Design !

- 中文维基百科 感谢您的参与

Arab and Chinese are also on top of the list but we couldn't find the direct link to create an article. Our Arab/Chinese is rather bad :)

Feel free to add other languages, too!

Our research shows that LimeSurvey covers the most important languages. Anyway there are some important languages that have not been translated yet. Can you help us translating (even in some parts) this languages:

  1. Arabian Thanks!
  2. Hindi
  3. Mallai
  4. Persian - 75% done already
  5. Filipino

Create a Workflow Chart

Since many questions are asked like "What are groups?", "What are labelsets used for?" it would be nice to have a chart/image showing how all these things work together within limesurvey e.g. "A survey consists of 1-n groups", "Each group can contain of 1-n questions", "A question can use a labelset", ...

The overview should explain how and what for the following elements are used:

You don't have to cover everything. Just start, attach the file to this wiki page or email it to us and maybe another user will complete this later on.

Merge pages about available question types

In our manual there are some orphaned pages which hold important information but are not maintained anymore. One example is an alternative explanation of questions and answers created by one of our users. There is lots of valuable information about different question types and it would be great to add these details at the maintained question types page.

Our manual is a wiki, everyone can edit and improve it. You can't do much wrong and a lot of other users will benefit from your efforts of merging these pages. Just give it a try!

General Tasks

Forum support

The growth of the limesurvey community comes along with an increasing number of questions at the support forum.

This is a very disappointing quota (:cry:) Help us to improve the support quality by joining the forum support!

Tasks:

  1. Simple: Join the forum support. Just create an account and there you go.

Fix Bugs/Implement New Features

Because limesurvey gets more and more famous and we are trying to implement new features regularly we are bombarded with bug reports. Some of them are deeply connected to the source code and handled by our most experienced developers. Some are just minor problems that can easily be fixed. Problem is that our core developers are suffering a huge workload. So we are always looking for skilled programmers that can take care of some of these bugs.

You won't have to spend hours on fixing a bug. Life comes first and no one is forced to do anything. Every little kind of help is appreciated. If you are familiar with one of this topics you might be the person we are looking for:

  • MySQL
  • Javascript

  • XML

Tasks:

  1. Help to fix bugs
  2. Implement new features
