Hello! Although I'm just an user-doctor and helper of the project as well, I would think you could contribute by testing the program and reporting bugs and their fixes! Karsten is the main developer and leader of the project, who encourages downloading, using, testing and reporting. I would think you could contribute for starters (and again, I'm sure Karsten will come by to correct any wrong info I were to give you): - downloading and installing GNUmed on your OS. GNUmed is maintained to work on debian mostly, so I'm sure you would have things to debug to make it work on NIXOS... Or maybe try installing on debian through a virtual machine?... - Use the program and report bugs/their fixes. You could start imagining scenarios of what a clinician/doctor would need to do with the EMR and try them out, find bugs along the way, try to fix them, report the fixes through here maybe or on github?... - ... and any other thing you can think of when trying the EMR! Personally, I introduced myself to this and managed to make my (small) contributions by being a user first, needing to translate, then understanding a bit more about the program, debuggind along the way... although I am still a python newbie myself :) I'd say the best way to contribute, from my perspective, is to use the program extensively and think about ways to fix bugs that pop up along the way?
