IPFS is a huge project and undertaking, and with lots of code comes the need for lots of good documentation! However, we need a lot more help to write the awesome docs the project needs. If writing technical documentation is your area, we'd absolutely love your help!

IPFS already has lots of users and curious people experimenting and using IPFS in their applications. These users sometimes get stuck or have questions that need answering. If you've contributed something with code or documentation, the chances are that you can probably help a lot of people with their questions.

We're continuously improving IPFS every day, but mistakes can happen, and we could release something that doesn't work as well as it should — or simply doesn't work at all! If you like to dig into edge-cases or write testing scenarios, wrangling our testing infrastructure could be the job for you.

We work on [CI tools](https://github.com/ipfs/jenkins) and plan larger scale tests at [ipfs/kubernetes-ipfs](https://github.com/ipfs/kubernetes-ipfs).
We have many design needs, but only a small team of visual and UX designers who divide their time between IPFS-related projects and other work here. That means there are a number of issues that could use your design contributions. As home to IPFS Desktop and Companion, the [ipfs-gui](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui) repo is a good place to look for opportunities to help move our design work forward. Simply filter by the label that best fits your skill set, such as [design-visual](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Atopic/design-visual) or [design-ux](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui/labels/topic/design-ux).

With lots of code come lots of Github Issues. We need YOU to help with organizing all of this in some manner. We don't yet have any proper resources for getting started with this. Get in touch if you can contribute a sense of extreme organization!

## Applications

IPFS is designed for others to build applications around it! Building applications and services using IPFS is an excellent way to find use cases where IPFS doesn't yet do a perfect job or uncover bugs and inefficiencies.

A few ways to discover applications, solutions, and tools built with IPFS.
IPFS is ultimately about building better protocols, and we always welcome ideas and feedback on how to improve those protocols. Post feedback, issues, and proposals in the `specs` projects in our Github organizations or in [`ipfs/notes`](https://github.com/notes).
