Support The Project
osCommerce is a project powered by a dedicated team and an ever growing community, and depends on people volunteering time, code, money, and energy to keep it going. This page will help you if you are interested in supporting the project in any way.
Sponsoring The Project
The osCommerce solution itself may be free of charge, but there are things that require money like server upgrades and financing internal and community/public meetings. Financially sponsoring the project is the easiest and fastest way to efficiently support the project and is something anyone regardless of any degree of involvement can do.
More information about the sponsoring the project is available at the Project Sponsors page.
Community Involvement
The osCommerce project would not be where it is today without having attracted a community where the philosophies are shared about the work involved.
Contributions
Contributing new features and updated work greatly benefits the project and community, and allows anyone to participate to have the next step taken in improving the work in ways not originally thought of.
There are currently 4,748 contributions available at the Contributions section!
Support
The greatest success a project could ever have is to have a self supported community, where community members help each other out and welcome those new to the project who end up happily helping others out like themselves too.
There are currently 177,315 registered members at the community support forums!
Documentation
Everyone can help with the documentation effort even if you know little about how certain features work. In fact, writing documentation about such tasks may be better accomplished by those who know little about it. The Knowledge Base site contains published entries that have been submited to the Collaborative Documentation Effort forum discussion channel.
Bug Fixing
Help speed up the development of the project by taking care of bug reports at the Bug Reporter.
Linking
Just like any other project, osCommerce lives mostly through the attention of many active and passive fans. You can help increase the attention of our audience by leaving the "Powered By osCommerce" text on the catalog front end which links to the osCommerce support site at http://www.oscommerce.com.
