Do You Contribute? Updating jQuery FAQ

Monday 17 December 2007 - Filed under Code

No, I’m not talking about the old Macromedia software…

I’m talking about contributing to ‘the community’?

I’m on several mailing lists for a variety of open source projects and inevitably someone posts a note complaining about this or that, lack of documentation, examples, etc. The developer(s) usually reply by saying “Volunteer and do it/fix it yourself!” :)

Today I broke out and spread some jQuery love by updating the jQuery FAQ with a question that I had run into before and today popped up on the mailing list. A small contribution but hopefully one that will save someone some time in the future.

Took me 30 seconds to register and a quick edit of the jQuery wiki and I was done!

FYI – CFEclipse also has a nice FAQ you can contribute to as well.

So even if you can’t code or commit large chunks of time to a project it is still very easy to help out even in small ways.
