DokuWiki Development

We're in the process of creating the development manual. Some pages are maybe incomplete, lack information, or need some restructuring. If you know a certain part of DokuWiki very well feel free to improve the pages! This process is managed on a separate page.

If you want to contribute to DokuWiki and join the development you should read this page.

Well what you want to contribute is of course up to you – you should scratch your own itches first. If you need some ideas of what is missing from DokuWiki you should have a look at the bugtracker.
