Diaspora is an open source project, which means all our code and documentation is available for free to anyone online. It also means that, while there is a core team working on the project full time, it only thrives because we have a wonderful set of volunteer collaborators who help out in their free time.
Some of these volunteers are developers and help with the code, which is the "traditional" way to help out an open source project, and is awesome. But many are not developers, and their contributions are awesome too.
Diaspora needs all sort of help, way more than just code! (if anyone wants to link to getting started on any of these things, that would be awesome)
####Reporting Bugs
Currently, there are two outlets for this: GetSatisfaction and GitHub Issues.
GetSatisfaction should be used for user feedback, feature requests, ideas, and questions. On the other hand, GitHub Issues works better for bugs/issues/features involving source code/logs/UI elements.
With both of these tools, it's helpful to provide as much information as possible.
####Starting Meetups
We are an international movement. If you would like to participate or help organize one in your area join us at Meetup.
####Translating
Diaspora is translated into over 45 languages. Jonne Haß has been championing managing all of them. For more info: How to contribute translations.
