- Enhance preexisting documentation for DSpace by contributing images, corrections and editorial review in the live documentation
- Brief Description: The DSpace documentation takes the form of a wiki site that is exported to a PDF manual for each release of the software. Whilst the documentation is reasonably complete, it lacks a lot of images, and is often out of date in sections. This task (of which there will be multiple variations) will require you to choose one section of the manual, and contribute images, check for correctness and completeness, and fix any errors you find.
- Skills: Software installation, documentation, image capture and manipulation, wikis
- Estimated duration: 10 hours per page
- Contact: Various
- Notes: Needs a list of the main doc sections

- Translate DSpace into your own native language
- Brief Description: DSpace is fully 'internationalized' and supports language packs to enable DSpace user interfaces to be shown in different languages. DSpace has already been translated into several languages, but if you natively speak a different language and can translate from one of the current languages, then you can select this task to perform the translation.
- Skills: Translation, written English, a high level of competency in another language
- Estimated duration: 10 hours per interface (XMLUI or JSPUI). One language for one interface counts as a single task. Translating the software for both user interfaces would count as two tasks.

- Notes: We can create tasks for each language that has not yet been translated, so please contact us if you wish to undertake this task.
