What Needs Doing?

There are a lot of different things you can do to help Subclipse. Not all involve coding; there are plenty of non-programming roles for eager volunteers.

Below are some of the needs we've identified, but please don't take these as gospel! New volunteers bring fresh viewpoints, and one of the most important things you can do is point out a need we hadn't recognized before — and then fill it.

FAQ Management

We need a FAQ manager. A FAQ manager is someone who stays subscribed to the users@subclipse.tigris.org and dev@subclipse.tigris.org mailing lists, watches for common questions or addenda to existing questions, and slowly adjusts the Subclipse FAQ in response to the problems users are having "in the wild". This is also a great way to get familiar with Subclipse usage patterns and common problems. If you use Subclipse anyway, helping to manage the FAQ is a great way to expand your troubleshooting skills.

This is not necessarily a formal role, or a single person. Anyone can submit a patch for the FAQ. Please post to the dev@subclipse.tigris.org mailing list if you're interested in this.

Online Help Maintenance

The Subclipse help system within Eclipse is just simple HTML. Having a good, up-to-date, help system is a large task. Any assistance that can be provided in maintaining the online help would be greatly appreciated.
