For anybody looking for ways to contribute to Charts, here are a few examples to consider:
- If you haven't done so already, go ahead and download/review Charts. Its most recent version is probably your best bet. Even beta and/or dev versions have a reputation of being quite stable. Create issues for any kind of glitches you may still find, or questions you cannot find the answer for in the available documentation.
- Share (contribute) any of the charts you created that you think may be valuable to others to use or learn from, in the format you prefer (descriptions of it, screenprints, or PHP files). Pretty sure they'll be considered for potential inclusion in Charts also.
- Share what you think makes Charts such a great module, e.g. in the format of real world use cases added somewhere in the community documentation.
- Spread the word about Charts, e.g. by tweeting about it, blogging, liking, whatever fits for you.
- If you ARE NOT familiar with the Charts module, but looking for other ways to "contribute" to it, contact the editor(s) of these Charts related community pages and/or current co-maintainer(s) for details about how you can do so.
Special request for contributions:
The chart module (which is different from the chartS module!) is the most commonly used module for creating charts in Drupal, but it has a major challenge to be addressed: it requires a charting library that is announced to be shutdown by April 20, 2015 (some more details on the project page). Issue #2368793: Chart 2.0 is a good place to start (a) to understand the kind of approaches are being worked on to address this challenge and (b) for anybody looking for ways to contribute to it.
So if you ARE familiar with the chart module AND with the charts module, then you can help fight the deadline that the chart module is facing. And this by somehow contributing to help chart users migrate (smoothly) to the charts module.
These chart-to-charts-migration contributions should make the popularity of the charts module go up even further. And more sites using a module often implies the quality and feature set of that module goes up as well
