| === Documenting the Ubuntu Accomplishments === | If you are not sure how to help, use our handy guide below: |
| Line 17: | Line 17: |
| Every accomplishment you see in the app provides information and guidance for how to get started and achieve the accomplishment. The goal of this documentation is to provide detailed guidance of what the trophy is, how to get started, what you need to do to accomplish it, and where you can find help. | === If you are a fairly technical person === |
| Line 19: | Line 19: |
| Fortunately providing this documentation is simple; it just means editing text files. | You might want to contribute to [[Accomplishments/GetInvolved/Hacking|Hacking]] or [[Accomplishments/GetInvolved/Testing|Testing]] (while Testing doesn't have to be technical, a deeper-dive of testing is really helpful). |

| ==== Getting The Accomplishments ==== | We also would love more and more people to [[Accomplishments/Creating|Creating Accomplishments]] for the system. |
| Line 23: | Line 23: |
| Grab the accomplishments by running: | === If you like writing === |

You might want to help with [[Accomplishments/GetInvolved/Documentation|Documentation]] - this includes not only documentation for the software, but we would love documentation of the accomplishments in your language! |
| Line 29: | Line 27: |
| In there you can see an `accomplishments` directory with an `ubuntu-community` accomplishments directory. To improve the documentation, just open up each `.accomplishment` file and edit the content in there. | === If you like using software and knowing the details of how it works === |

| Now go to Launchpad and propose it for merging into `lp:ubuntu-community-accomplishments`. === Documenting the App Itself === Included with the GUI app is documentation for how it works. The system is designed for all users (beginner upwards), so it is important we have simple, effective documentation. This is a great place to help! The documentation is written using Mallard (http://projectmallard.org/). Make sure you have the system installed and running. Installation instructions are [[Accomplishments/Installing|here]] Inside the `ubuntu-accomplishments-system` branch is a `help` directory. This is where you can find the different Mallard files. Please edit the documentation, improve it, expand it, and make it better for our users. ==== Submitting Your Contribution ==== From inside your `ubuntu-accomplishments-system` branch.
