Contribute

We are working hard to work out a set of conventions and documentation to aid developers in contributing code to OpenMRS.

Learn how to become an OpenMRS developer and then browse the available projects.

Both coders and non-coders alike can help improve OpenMRS for everyone through documentation. Even small corrections or useful additions to the wiki are helpful to everyone. Documentation can take the form of comments in the code, documentation on the wiki, or manuals or other materials provided through the forum or mailing lists.

OpenMRS is measured by how well we can serve our implementations. While some implementers are well-versed in the OpenMRS system, many others are just getting started. If you feel that you've learned a thing or two about successfully implementing OpenMRS, we would greatly appreciate your willingness to share that knowledge with others. This can be done through our wiki or through our implementers mailing list.

OpenMRS aims to serve people in developing countries across the world. Doing so requires the ability to work in multiple languages. If you speak two or more languages fluently, you could contribute by translating our message resources into other languages.
