Developer documentation

You want to contribute? That’s great, we love contributions! Being an open source project, pretalx will thrive if it receives regular contributions from the community. Everyone is able to contribute, and contributions come in many forms: Code, Documentation, Translations, Graphics, Feedback …. We appreciate them highly!

This part of the documentation tries to give you some information that you might need on the way. But don’t worry if you still get stuck: It’s probably not you, it’s us. This documentation is probably incomplete. So do not hesitate to send us questions – and afterwards, contribute to the documentation to help the next one who is running into the same problem. 😉
