### How to report bugs

. 



### How to get involved



We urgently seek all kind of people who could help us in any

way. Firstly we need documentation writers who could help us

crafting a help file and some standalone documentation for the

web. Secondly, if you are skilled in C/C++ programming, we could

need helping hands with programming. A starting point could be

[github issues](https://github.com/gobby/gobby.git).

And last, but certainly not least, we need translators

who get their hands at Gobby's string templates to get it

localised. Thus more could use Gobby in their native language.

Just contact us, if in doubt, for more details.



There are also two mailing lists which should provide a mean

of contact to other Gobby users and to the developers.



- *obby-announce*: A moderated list used to announce new

  releases of Gobby and its foundation, libinfinity. To subscribe,

  please send an email with the topic "subscribe" to

  . A list archive is

  available at .

- *obby-users*: Discussions about Gobby's usage and

  installation problems. The announcements are also posted

  there. To subscribe, please send an email with the topic

  "subscribe" to . A list

  archive is available at .
