The discussion of Friendica development takes place in the following Friendica forums:
* The main [forum for Friendica development](https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/developers)
-* The [forum for Friendica theme development](https://friendica.eu/profile/ftdevs)
## Help other users
Remember the questions you had when you first tried Friendica?
-A good place to start can be to help new people find their way around Friendica in the [general support forum](https://forum.friendi.ca/prufile/helpers).

Welcome them, answer their questions, point them to documentation or ping other helpers directly if you can't help but think you know who can.
## Translation
Are you good at designing things?
If you have seen Friendica you probably have ideas to improve it, haven't you?

We can't promise we have the right skills in the group but we'll try.
## Programming
+Friendica uses an implementation of [Domain-Driven-Design](help/Developer-Domain-Driven-Design), please make sure to check out the provided links for hints at the expected code architecture.

### Composer
Friendica uses [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) to manage dependencies libraries and the class autoloader both for libraries and namespaced Friendica classes.
-It's a command-line tool that downloads required libraries into the `vendor` folder and makes any namespaced class in `src` available through the whole application through `boot.php`.

+
+If you want to have git automatically update the dependencies with composer, you can use the `post-merge` [git-hook](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks) with a script similar to this one:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/env bash
+ # MIT © Sindre Sorhus - sindresorhus.com
+ # forked by Gianluca Guarini
+ # phponly by Ivo Bathke ;)
+ # modified for Friendica by Tobias Diekershoff
+ changed_files="$(git diff-tree -r --name-only --no-commit-id ORIG_HEAD HEAD)"
+ check_run() {
+ echo "$changed_files" | grep --quiet "$1" && eval "$2"
+ }
+ # `composer install` if the `composer.lock` file gets changed
+ # to update all the php dependencies
+ check_run composer.lock "bin/composer.phar install --no-dev"
+
+just place it into `.git/hooks/post-merge` and make it executable.
* [Class autoloading](help/autoloader)
* [Using Composer](help/Composer)
* No closing PHP tag
* No trailing spaces
* Array declarations use the new square brackets syntax
+* Quoting style is single quotes by default, except for needed string interpolation, SQL query strings by convention and comments that should stay in natural language.
Don't worry, you don't have to know by heart the PSR-2 coding standards to start contributing to Friendica.
There are a few tools you can use to check or fix your files before you commit.
### Code documentation
If you are interested in having the documentation of the Friendica code outside of the code files, you can use [Doxygen](http://doxygen.org) to generate it.
-The configuration file for Doxygen is located in the `util` directory of the project sources.
+The configuration file for Doxygen is located in the base directory of the project sources.
Run
- $> doxygen util/Doxyfile
+ $> doxygen Doxyfile
to generate the files which will be located in the `doc/html` subdirectory in the Friendica directory.
You can browse these files with any browser.
* Try to reproduce a bug that needs more inquiries and write down what you find out.
* If a bug looks fixed, ask the bug reporters for feedback to find out if the bug can be closed.
* Fix a bug if you can. Please make the pull request against the *develop* branch of the repository.
-* There is a *Junior Job* label for issues we think might be a good point to start with.
+* There is a *[Junior Job](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A"Junior+Jobs")* label for issues we think might be a good point to start with.
But you don't have to limit yourself to those issues.
### Web interface
* Look at the first steps that were made (e.g. the clean theme).
Ask us to find out whom to talk to about their experiences.
* Talk to design people if you know any.
-* Let us know about your plans [in the dev forum](https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/developers) or the [theme developer forum](https://friendica.eu/profile/ftdevs).
