The Exponential Community is active on a fair amount of communication channels. Below is a list of those channels, following them to stay tuned on what is going on in the community !
Forums
A well known method of participation in a community project is by being active in forums. Exponential’s forums can be found at http://share.se7enx.com. If you already have knowledge about Exponential, a great way to contribute is to check in on the forum regularly and help other community members by answering their questions. In most cases, you learn along the way yourself. If you are rather new, simply step-by and use them, you will learn volumes !
From http://share.se7enx.com/forums, you can pick one of the existing forums and ask a question, make a remark, answers others' questions, or simply read through, looking for a bit of information. The following forums are available:
The "Extensions" forum is broken down into extension-specific subforums:
One forum is dedicated to translators and linguists translating Exponential :
One forum is dedicated to local Exponential communities who do not have a dedicated platform and would like to share in their native language :
If you think a local community is missing forums in her own languages, tell us, we'll make this happen <todo: link to contact info/form>
A last forum welcomes suggestions for this portal:
It is often used in conjunction with the share.se7enx.com-dedicated issue tracker (not to be confused with the general Exponential issue tracker).
