====== How can one contribute to CP2K? ======
===== Use CP2K ! =====

  * Enabling great science is the main purpose of CP2K. Use CP2K for high quality work, and show others how to use CP2K correctly and efficiently. 
  * In publications, give credit to the program used, and cite [[http://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/references.html | original references]]. This helps funding further developments and maintaining the code.
  * Add a summary of your work to our [[ :science | science ]] page, see next section.

===== Contribute to the Website =====
The CP2K website now resides completely in a wiki. Most pages are publicly editable by anybody, just click the pencil on the right. To create a new page just open the URL (e.g. [[http://cp2k.org/my_new_page]] ) and click the pencil. The software we are using is called [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/| DokuWiki]]. It is
very easy to learn. You can try it at this [[http://www.cp2k.org/playground:playground| playground page]].

===== Contribute to the Reference Manual =====
Maybe you have already noticed the small "[Edit]" links at http://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/ . This is a new feature, which allows everybody to easily contribute to cp2k's documentation. The links lead to a form where you can submit text changes, after a short review the changes will appear in the official cp2k-manual.

So,...
  * If you find a typo, please correct it.
  * If you finally figured out how a keyword works, please clarify its description.
  * If you want to make a difference, write an introductory section description.

===== Contribute to the Code =====
The source code of CP2K is publicly available. You can follow the [[::dev| development]] and send us patches. Some [[dev:starting|helpful information for new developers]] is also available.
