If you are multilingual and interested in contributing to this project, we are always looking for documentation translators.
There are no current plans to make the tool itself multilingual, but that may change in the future.
We're always interested in beta testers, but we do not have a formal public beta testing program. We appreciate feedback on all new release candidates, especially from users using non-American-English locales.
If you are interested in becoming a maintainer, the best way is to provide PRs and participate in discussions/issue triage.
Caution
The following remains here for legacy/archive purposes only, as it was written for the v1 era.
Are you multilingual?
I am particularly interested in finding people who can speak something other than English. Several problems have come up with non-latin character sets (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc). I am also interested in producing language packs/translations for the installers. If you are interested in translating, please signup here.
The response for multilingual contributions has been phenomenal. However; due to the necessarily slow pace of development (see "other" below), multilingual support won't arrive until 2.0.0 (which will likely be a cross-platform version manager with a new name).
I am seeking donations to help pay for a lingohub.com account to make life easier for translators! Please consider becoming a becoming a patron to support this.
Are you outside of the US/UK/Canada?
Custom mirroring capabilities are available in the master branch, but I would like to work with folks in different geographic regions to assure node is accessible everywhere.
Other (Anywhere)
The core concepts of this version manager are pretty simple, so the core code base is pretty focused/simple. I've done some work to make this project available on all operating systems. The only reason it's been so slow to release is anticipation of an explosion of new installers (chocolatey, homebrew, rpm, .deb, .msi, etc). I've partnered up with BitRock to simplify creation of some of these, but the BitRock installers don't support all of these.
Of course, I would also love to have additional maintainers. I greatly appreciate the existing maintainers who are answering questions and responding to issues, but be advised I have always been and am currently the only person working on new feature development (aside from some incredible contributions from people). I've been preoccupied with paid contract work to a) live and b) bootstrap author.io (a company to support this project and several others). My time has been very limited.
