+volunteers:

+* Helping other users on the :ref:`forums <forums>`
+* Testing new versions and :ref:`reporting bugs <bugs>`
+* Creating additional tutorials and examples
+* Improving the :ref:`documentation <writehelp>`
+* Translating XaoS into your language
+* Compiling binaries for your favorite operating system
+* Reviewing and documenting the source code
+* Implementing new features and fixing bugs
+
+All development activities are coordinated through `Google Code`__. If you want to
+contribute, we recommend that you sign up for an account so that you can
