<> = Get Involved = The Mir display server project is a true collaborative Open Source project. For us to build an awesome user experience scaling across and dynamically adapting to different form factors we need a variety of skills and contributors who can bring them. This section of the our wiki homepage explains how you can get involved. == How Can I Help? == If you are not sure how to help, use our handy guide below: === If you are a fairly technical person === You might want to contribute to [[http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir|Hacking]] or [[http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir|Testing]] (while Testing doesn't have to be technical, a deeper-dive of testing is really helpful). === If you like breaking things === Mir adheres to a test-driven development process and code contributions in particular have to be accompanied by tests that prove that a fix or a feature really does what it should. Over time, as Mir evolves, the testing framework needs to become more and more sophisticated, too. In addition, we are planning to rely on [[Unity/QA/Autopilot|Autopilot]] and [[http://cukes.info/|Cucumber]] to implement fullstack and behavioral testing and we would love to see contributions to either the test suites or the underlying infrastructure to wire things up with Mir. === If you like design === You might want to help with [[Unity|Unity]] - this includes not only discussing designs, but we would also love to receive thoughts, ideas and feedback on our ideas. = Where Do I Begin? = == Get a Development Environment Set Up == You should first install the different parts of the project so you can contribute. To read out to do this, see [[http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir|these instructions]]. == Choose a Place to Help == Now you have an idea of how to help, click the sections above to find out more.
