Developers of proxmox. In my opinion you have the best management software available at the moment.

I have been in the process of giving it another go with a hosting company and I started with your panel during testing but put it away due to it being 'free' and quickly went to the competitors. Boy was I in for a shock. Many things still the same as a few years ago, they all lack features which are important to me. So after two months of daily working with any panel available I'm back here.

In the past I have earned a lot of money with selling GPL software and never felt good about it, the money was easy, what can I say... Now that I use your software and I will subscribe when I can I also would like to contribute to your code if possible or by suggestions.
My OO programming is really bad but I've been around for a bit, I think I can be useful in a few area's.

I reported two small bugs and I see bugs not assigned for over a month while seeing suggestions to report bugs. This confuses me a bit.
I can perhaps remove some strain of the core workers here but the question is where you are lacking people. Let me know and I'll try to fill the gap. Hopefully others will after seeing this post. It doesn't seem there are that many contributors yet you release updates frequently. Very Impressive.

Cheers and keep on this track and you will stay best for sure.

We try to fix important bugs first, so this can lead to delays. Anyways, you can also try to send patches for those bugs.

A good start would be to help fixing bugs in the bug tracker.

Ok, while I do not feel I have the knowledge for a lot of these bugs. there seems to be a few I feel comfortable with. Let's give that a go.

What about wiki ?
 
We currently also try to improve the reference documentation:

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-docs.git;a=summary

would be great if you can help there.

But we are just cleaning up the wiki (and move parts into the reference docs), so there will be some restructuring in the next days/weeks ...
 
I'm not used to these frontends so bear with me. I presume we pick up a bug in https://bugzilla.proxmox.com and propose a commit on https://git.proxmox.com? I'm not sure on the reference documentation, how do I start? I can list my skype tomorrow in profile for quick call if you prefer.
