As an open source project TeXstudio strongly benefits from an active community.

Use and spread the word

The easiest way to help on the development with TeXstudio is to use it! Furthermore, if you like TeXstudio, tell all your friends and colleagues about it.

In particular we are looking for people who want to try the most recent features before they are officially released. If you are interested download and subscribe to release candidates and development snapshots.

Give Feedback

User feedback is highly welcome. Depending on the type of feedback you may use different channels to communicate.

  • Feature requests, bug reports and questions can be placed in the issue tracker. In case of a bug report, please state version and operation system and a description which allows to reproduce the issue on another computer.

Contribute

You do not necessarily have to be a programmer to help and make TeXstudio even better. There are many ways to contribute.

  • Write cwl-files for your favorite package.
  • Translate TeXstudio into a new language or update an existing translation.
  • Design icons.
  • Help on improving our website.
  • Update or extend the user manual or the wiki.
  • Write tutorials or create screencasts.
  • Package TeXstudio for your favorite distribution or platform.

It is a good idea to announce your plans on the texstudio issue list. So everybody knows what's going on around TeXstudio and there is no duplicate work. For questions how you can contribute contact one of the developers.
