Piwigo website, community tools

At the beginning,the whole communication around Piwigo was done with the forum. By the way, it was the first tool set beside the main page. The forum is where the main part of the community can be found, being developers or end users.

You should look at our glossary to clarify all terms used in discussions. It will be easier to understand each other this way.

Some users have told us they enjoy Piwigo. You can found others on the testimonials section in the forum.

Time passes by and forum was kept for discussion, but other information go through other means. This page will describe all the tools we set to communicate with you.

Bugtracker

The Piwigo bugtracker has 2 missions: bug notifications and feature requests.

This is the most efficient way to ensure bugs to get fixed. As long as a bug is not fixed, its issue stays in the bugtracker. Unlike forum posts, it's impossible for bugs entries to be forgotten about.

Feature requests are also managed in the bugtracker. This may be not ideal since it is not exactly the same thing, but there's enough common information between feature requests and bugs to share the same tool.

For further details, read the bugtracker page.

Wiki

Here you are! Wiki is the continuously improved documentation of the project.

This kind of documentation should consolidate information and thus reduce the forum load. We talk about the way Piwigo works, from features descriptions to coding specifications including customization tips.

You can help to fill or translate the wiki. The wiki is here to help you start smoothly.

Forum

The forum remains the essential communication mode for discussing or help. Help mainly focuses on installation and usages when wiki doesn't provide them. Good forum explanations should often be transfered to wiki.

Historically, forum is the oldest communication mode, it started with the project. It brought so many discussions over years, that many redundancies can be found. Search can help you to find information however be careful on version and on advice creation dates, that's will be helpful to find the best and accurate topic.

Translations

We are going to use Wiki to suggest you to translate PWG in a maximum of languages

It can allow you to participate by translating one or several files when you have the time and the envy.

You can also take a file and ask somebody to translate it.

Or read already translated files again to check their relevance.
