Maybe you’ve seen many good Open Source projects that are no longer maintained. One of the many reasons for that may be lack of contribution. In fact, there are many one-man projects out there. Most of any program’s users are just that, users, not developers. Nevertheless, average users still can contribute to Open Source programs to make them better.

1. Contribute quality: help to make a better project, better looking and with new features
   • Submit bug reports
   • Suggest new features and options
   • Suggest ways to improve the framework (maybe comparing it to similar OS or comercial projects)
   • Submit some artwork (icons, backgrounds, logos) to use in the program
   • Correct spelling and grammar mistakes in documentation
   • Help maintain a web site for an Open Source project
