We can't have everybody working at once on technical stuff. It may take some time until we can give green light to any specific task.
The sticky post will be regularly updated with ways you can help.
Technical
- On-line Emulator intergration
Linux
- Setting up Postfix mail
- Cron jobs
- Testing the website and reporting bugs
- Creating screenshots (Dave is taking care of the more recent titles but if you can help with the older stuff that would be great.
- Promote Spectrum Computing to other Spectrum users (Be careful you don't appear to be spamming though!)
- Contacting developers of previously commercial software to obtain permissions. Please be careful - certain ones might be best approached at the right time by the right person, for example we don't want another Electric Dreams style denial! If you think there is a good chance it wil be a "yes" then go for it, especially if you have an 'in' with the person already. Also - if you're reading this and you happen to be an author/publisher and haven't already let us know your permission status for Spectrum Computing, and also the "All Free Sites" that use ZXDB please get in touch!
