I browsed through all the forums, yet I could not figure out how I could contribute to Rails. I noticed a few contests results but again I’m unable to trace how to participate. Any help would be very good for me. |

Heya Sriram, A good place to start is the dev.rubyonrails.com – here’s you’ll find some (brief) instructions on how to get started. Also, I can heartily recommend the railscast screencast on contributing to rails: http://railscasts.com/episodes/50 – this podcast takes you through step by step on how to create a patch for rails. Josh Susser (of has_many :through has put together a nice little presentation on the topic. Check it out here. -Chris |

Sriram, I struggle with this as well. The best way to contribute is to catch bugs, since Rails 2.0 was about improving the core and not adding a ton of new features. You could simply browse through the thousands of lines of Rails source code, which subsequently would also teach you to master Ruby if you haven’t already. Alternatively, you could always write plugins and other addons to Rails to enhance functionality. This is a fun way to give back to the community. -Kevin Elliott |
