====== Contributing ======

OpenTrafficMap is an open project — here is how you can help:

===== Run a receiver =====

The most valuable contribution: live data can only be shown where at least one receiver is nearby.

  * Get a receiver via the group order or build one yourself — see [[en:start|the start page]] for all options.
  * Pick a good spot: [[en:reception|Reception & Placement]].
  * Register it: [[en:node_registration|Node Registration]].

===== Improve this wiki =====

Register a wiki account and edit away — translations, corrections, and new pages are all welcome. The English documentation lives in the ''en:'' namespace.

===== Report sightings =====

Spotted something interesting on the live map? Add it to [[en:sightings|Sightings]].

===== Develop =====

Firmware, hardware, and the map itself are developed openly:

  * Code: [[https://codeberg.org/opentrafficmap|codeberg.org/opentrafficmap]]
  * Receiver hardware (KiCad, Gerber, BOM): [[https://codeberg.org/opentrafficmap/its-g5-receiver|its-g5-receiver]]
  * Firmware: [[https://codeberg.org/opentrafficmap/its-g5-receiver-firmware|its-g5-receiver-firmware]]
  * Alternative receiver projects: [[en:software:transmission_methods|Transmission Methods]]
