Dancer is a modern Perl project - it's already in use in many production deployments (see the Dancefloor page for some examples) but is still being actively developed and improved.
There are many ways you could contribute to help make Dancer even better:
There are many, many frameworks out there, marketing can make a difference. If you like Dancer, tell the world about it:
Promotion and marketing is a very valuable contribution to the project.
Of course, using Dancer is the best way to help the project, you will see it running by yourself, and maybe, you will find something to enhance or will commit some ideas to the crew.
If you're using Dancer, please feel free to let us know so we can list you on the Dancefloor page!
We have a thriving community in #dancer on irc.perl.org. Come join us now and get help, offer feedback, help new users...
Feel free to subscribe to the mailing list if you want to contact users and developers of the project, either to get or offer help. You can also check out the list archives.
So you're using it and you've found a bug, that's great! Yes, Great. Because a bug found is a bug in the way of being fixed. Please do report it - reports via the GitHub issues system are preferred as our development is coordinated on GitHub, but bug reports to the rt.cpan.org queue or on the mailing list are fine too.
Okay, so you've found a bug and after having forked the project on GitHub you have a written patch to submit the fix, that's really great. At the time, the best way to get a review is to send a pull request on GitHub.
(If you're not a GitHub user or don't want the hassle of forking the repo, patches submitted via email to the mailing list are appreciated too, but pull requests via GitHub are much easier for us to track and apply, and thus have a much better chance of being applied!)
If you want to support the team, you can also donate - donations will be used to support development efforts, for instance paying for travel to conferences etc.
