Developer's Quick Start

If this is your first time getting involved with the SWORD Project, welcome! The SWORD Project needs talented, highly motivated, and committed individuals. Volunteers like you keep this project going. Thank you for your willingness to help. To find where you fit it, here are a few simple steps to follow:

  1. Explore the Development Section of our site and see what info is available. Also, if you have not done so already, go to the Software Section and try out some of our software to see what others are already doing; maybe there is a specific area where you feel called to contribute. Alternatively, you may feel you have an idea for a domain into which we have not yet ventured.
  2. Once you have a general idea of where you would like to help, the best place to start is by subscribing to the developers' mailing list from its webpage, http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel. There are also mailing list archives available at http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel.
  3. Jump right in! Post to the list with how you think you can help out and see what feedback you get!
