MapServer users, we need your help! Open source projects are largely volunteer efforts and MapServer is no exception. There are number of ways for anyone to get involved. Please consider helping with:

• Helping users via the mailing lists and IRC
• Documentation, all documentation can be improved in some way: how-to's, code snippets, tutorials & demos
• Need to update the standard demo to support basic CGI use, but to show other technologies such as OpenLayers, MapBuilder, dBox, PostGIS and so forth. (Lime)
• Programming, we can always use developers experienced with C/C++, Swig, PHP and other languages
• Test development using Python, C/C++ or MapServer configuration files
• Need help building a suite of mapfiles to cover all possible symbolization configuations (e.g. polgon:vector:unfilled, polygon:pixmap:transparency, polygon:pixmap:24-bit) (Lime)
• Need help developing a set of super-templates that cover all possible substitutions (Lime)
• Need help developing a set of test data that goes beyond just points, lines and polygons. For example, need z and m shapefiles, ready-to-load versions for PostGIS, attributes sets covering a broad spectrum of possibilies and uses for labeling and filtering... (Lime)
• Build enviroment development using configure, makefiles and so on
• Binary distribution development for all platforms
• Techincal website maintenance (see The MapServer Website and What You Can Do About It)
• Website design (got CSS?)
• MapServer logo design
• Fund development of features important to you or your organization (see the current roadmap for our wishlist))
• Translation of documentation to other languages
• Other ideas? Just let us know!
