[edit] User Support
Even the most gifted Alfresco developers were new once, and chances are someone has helped you at some point along the way. No matter what your skill level, you can give back by sharing what you know with other users who need support. It's a nice thing to do, and who knows? You might learn something, too!

[edit] Documentation
Whether you're interested in providing fine-grained API documentation, writing step-by-step tutorials for the handbook, or producing multimedia screencasts to show people how Alfresco works, you can help improve Alfresco's documentation, and provide a valuable resource to the community.
[edit] Translation
Alfresco supports many languages via the Forge. If you know another language, you can offer your skills to help maintain Alfresco core and contributed module translations.
