Participate in Piwik

Piwik is constantly growing and expanding (we love updates!), and as it has become more popular, we now need YOUR help to make Piwik better. The core team is still very small (and very busy) so we would love more people to join the fun and help realise our objectives for Piwik 1.0.

The good news is: there are many ways that you can help with Piwik, you don't necessarily have to be a programmer. If you have some time and good will, you can really help!

› Suggestions

  • Make a difference with Marketing!
    Marketing is incredibly useful to the project: improving Piwik image on various websites (sourceforge, freshmeat, hotscripts, etc.), contacting journalists to let them know about the project, spread the word on blogs, websites, magazines (Piwik can be included in CDRoms bundled with magazines), etc. We gathered a few ideas in the Piwik Marketing roadmap page. If you think you can help with these ideas or new ones, contact us.
  • Donate
    Piwik is a open source project and we all do this out of love for the project. Of course, donations are very much appreciated. The funds will be used for the development of the Piwik project: marketing, design, etc. You can donate money to our paypal account.

Our time is limited as we are a very small team and we think of Piwik as a community; if you’re willing to put some time and energy in Piwik, we would love to help you get started. If you have any question or if you need some guidance, feel free to contact the team, or post a message in the piwik-hackers mailing list.
