If you want to help write code for Photoview, take a look at the open issues, if you find an issue that you'd like to work on, please write a comment on that issue to let others know that you will be working on it.
If you want to add a feature that has no open issue, please create a new one.
If you need help regarding development, you are very welcome to join our Discord channel and ask questions.
This documentation is far from complete and help in writing it is very much encouraged. At the top-right of each article there is a pencil icon, that when clicked will take you to GitHub where you can edit the page and send a pull-request when you are done. If you are unfamiliar with sending pull-requests on GitHub see their article About collaborative development models.
The documentation is written in Markdown. An implicit level one heading will automatically be added to each page with the page title, theirefore the pages should be written using level two or more headings.
Another way to contribute to the community is by helping other set up and use Photoview. You can do so over at the Discord channel or on various forums.
If you find a bug, you can report it such that it can be fixed. Or if you have an idea for a nice feature that Photoview is lacking you can suggest it and it might be added in a future update.
To do this go to the issues page and check that an issue for the bug or feature doesn't already exist. If it doesn't click the "New issue" button and select whether the issue is regarding a bug or a new feature, now fill out the form and finish off by clicking on "Submit new issue".
