# What You Can Contribute To?
## Documentation/Wiki
Found a typo, or something that isn't as clear as it could be? Maybe I've missed something off altogether, or you hit a roadblock that took you a while to figure out. Edit the [wiki](https://github.com/neon-mmd/websurfx/wiki) to add to or improve the documentation. This will help future users get Websurfx up and running more easily.

## Report a Bug/Issue
If you've found a bug, then please consider raising it as an issue [here](https://github.com/neon-mmd/websurfx/issues). This will help me know if there's something that needs fixing. Try and include as much detail as possible, such as your environment, steps to reproduce, any console output and maybe an example screenshot or recording if necessary.
## Spread the word
Websurfx is still a relatively young project, and as such not many people know of it. It would be great to see more users, and so it would be awesome if you could consider sharing with your friends or on social platforms.

- Treat everyone with respect -- \"give respect and take respect.\"
- Document your code properly with Rust coding conventions in mind.
