This page provides a list of skills that we could really use some help with. If you’re interested in helping out just send an email and let us know what you want to do.
1. Contributors
Beyond adding pictures and descriptions of mushrooms that you’ve seen, you can make a big difference to the site by describing species or defining locations.
2. Designers
The site is pretty spare and could use an artisitc eye to help with things like icons and themes.
3. Developers
We have lots of ideas about how to improve the site. The framework, Ruby on Rails, is really easy to pick up and we are more than happy to mentor anyone who wants to dive in.
4. Translators
The site is set up to support foreign languages. All we need is someone to do the translations.
5. Business Planning
So far Mushroom Observer has been an entirely volunteer effort, we are looking for ways to make the site financially viable either as a non-profit or as part of a larger for-profit effort.
