Getting started as a first-time contributor at WordCamp Asia Contributor Day may seem intimidating, but don\u2019t worry, it’s easier than you think. Anyone with a WordPress.org profile can join in and help out. Here are some ways new contributors can get involved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Answering questions on the WordPress.org support forums is a great way for new contributors to help others in the community. You don\u2019t need to be an expert to provide helpful responses and guidance. Just share your experiences using WordPress and politely point people to helpful resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documentation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Improve the WordPress Documentation by contributing to documentation. You can translate articles, update outdated information, fill in missing details, or write new pages on topics you\u2019re familiar with. The WordPress Documentation is a living resource that depends on community members to keep it current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submitting Photos<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy photography, consider submitting your WordPress-related photos to the stock photo library. Photos of people using WordPress, keyboards, laptops, and mobile devices are especially useful. With your permission, your photos may appear on WordPress.org and in official presentations. Photo submissions are a simple way to contribute for those without technical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation Team<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the easiest support teams for first-time contributors to join. Translate the WordPress Core into your national language. WordPress supports hundreds of major locales you can choose from, and you don\u2019t have to install a local environment. Just simply create a WordPress Account and start translating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still not sure which team is suited for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit WordPress Contributor Wizard<\/a> to see which team you should join based on your interests and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to contribute just because you can\u2019t code. WordCamp Contributor Day and the WordPress community as a whole welcome all types of contributions, big and small. Find an area you\u2019re passionate about and share your skills with others. You\u2019ll be giving back to the community in no time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
