Membership FAQs

The following are the most commonly asked questions about membership in the Mambo Foundation, Inc.

Q: I am interested in helping out on the project. How can I get involved?

A: We are committed to building a vibrant Mambo community, and appreciate your assistance. We need assistance with everything from coding, documentation, translations, forum moderation, through to helping other Mambo users on the forums. Our forums are peer support forums and rely on Mambo users helping other Mambo users. The forums are also the best place to interact with the team and to let them know you are interested in helping.
