      JMRI: What you can do to help
      </h1>

We get e-mails directly and through the <a href="https://groups.io/g/jmriusers">JMRI Users</a> Groups.io daily
        asking: "What can I do to help?"
<p>
<a href="/donations.shtml">
 <img src="https://images.sourceforge.net/images/project-support.jpg" width="88" height="32" border="0" ALIGN="RIGHT" alt="Donate to JMRI" />
</a>
A small donation would always be appreciated.  The money typically gets used
for registering Internet domain names, copyrights, etc. Click on the icon to the right (it's also
on some of the other JMRI pages), or if you'd prefer not to use PayPal please
<a href="mailto:jmri.@jmri.net">contact us via email</a>.
<p>
If you have the time, it would be really helpful to have your
active help improving the program's usability.  We need help with
writing up examples of almost <em>everything</em>!  If you'd be willing
to take something you've recently done and walk through it again,
writing down all the steps &amp; what they did, it would be quite useful.
<p>
For example, a walk-through of how to adjust the settings on a
sound decoder while running it on the track.
<br>
Or how to set the start voltage of a locomotive so it starts
to move when the throttle does.
<br>
Or even something like checking out a newly installed decoder.
<p>
People tend to say "Well, the stuff I do is so basic, everybody must
know how to do it".  But a lot of people hesitate to even start, and
having something written down step-by-step can be very helpful in
getting them started.
<p>
For more info on how to do any of that, please contact
the people on the
<a href="https://groups.io/g/jmriusers">JMRI users group</a>
or see the page on
<a href="http://jmri.org/help/en/html/doc/Technical/index.shtml#contributing">Helping with the code</a>.
