As an open source project, Tox needs developers first and foremost. Graphic designers are very welcome too. Adventurous users can test and report bugs, translators will be necessary later on to translate stuff, and this wiki could always use another pair of hands!

Fork! GitHub makes it really easy to contribute to open source projects. Fork a copy of the Tox repo into your account, make some changes, and then submit a pull request to request to send your changes back to the main repository.

Be sure to join the developer IRC, to ask questions or just to keep up to date with the latest discussions around the project.

Need some ideas on what to do? Check out the issues page. There's always work to do to make Tox better!

Join the graphic or dev-IRC.

There is an archived thread on /gd/: https://archive.foolz.us/gd/thread/91501/

Fork one of our main clients from the Clients page or make your own.

First and foremost is to try Tox out - and report bugs. Github has an excellent Issues interface. Report bug or request a feature for Tox core, qTox client and µTox client. Don't be afraid to criticize anything that looks wrong - healthy debate will make Tox great!

Please read: How to Report Bugs Effectively.

Beside reporting bugs or requesting features, you could help improve qTox translations, or add one.

Edit this wiki, too! It's still young, and a healthy wiki has a constant stream of edits. Even if you don't have content to add, you can rewrite for greater clarity, reformat for aesthetics, etc. For list of pages that can be edited look here.

If you have the resources to, you could run a DHT node or run a ToxDNS service. Nodes help new clients join the distributed network, and ToxDNS services provide a way to look up Tox ID's with memorable e-mail like usernames.
