There is a lot of talk about how you can contribute to the Joomla! CMS project. Joomla! is an Open Source Project, and it needs every one of us to grow and expand.
On this page, I have collected and will continue to add ways for you to contribute to the Joomla! project. If you have anything to share, please email me at mailbox@joomlablogger.net or comment below.
First, read my article on this subject: Joomla! user? Contribute to the project! I wrote the post in June 2009. Most of this still holds true, so start there.
