## How to contribute



Bibliograph is free (as in beer and in speech). But in order to thrive, the

project needs your help. Even if you are not a developer, you can contribute:



- You can [provide feedback, report bugs and/or suggest new features](https://github.com/cboulanger/bibliograph/issues).



- Help translate the user interface into your language. Let me know if you 

  are willing to do this, and I'll let you know how to do this.



- You can help spread the word. The more people use the application, the more

  likely it is that development continues and new features/plugins will be 

  added - so please let your followers on Twitter, Facebook etc. know about

  Bibliograph
