Well, we <emphasis>always</emphasis> need help. There is something for
everybody who wants to help us. We welcome new developers, packagers,
<quote>programmer</quote>. There are many other tasks available. In fact,
the programmers often can't spend as much time programming because of some
of the other, more mundane things that need to be done, like checking the
- Tracker feedback sections.
+ Tracker feedback sections or responding to user questions on the mailing
+ lists.
</para>
<para>
- So first thing, <ulink
- url="https://sourceforge.net/account/register.php">get an account on SourceForge.net</ulink>
- and mail your id to the <ulink url="mailto:ijbswa-developers@lists.sourceforge.net">developers
- mailing list</ulink>. Then, please read the <ulink
- url="../developer-manual/index.html">Developer's Manual</ulink>, at least
- the pertinent sections.

+ So first thing, subscribe to the <ulink

+ or the <ulink url="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ijbswa-developers">Privoxy
+ Developers</ulink> mailing list, join the discussion, help out other users, provide general

<para>
- You can also start helping out without SourceForge.net account,
- simply by showing up on the mailing list, helping out other users,
- providing general feedback or reporting problems you noticed.
+ If you intend to help out with the trackers, you also might want to <ulink

+ so we don't confuse you with the other name-less users.

<title>There are several different <quote>actions</quote> files. What are
the differences?</title>
<para>
- Three actions files
- are being included by the developers, to be used for
- different purposes: These are
- <filename>default.action</filename>, the <quote>main</quote> actions file
- which is actively maintained by the <application>Privoxy</application>
- developers and typically sets the default policies, <filename>user.action</filename>,
- where users are encouraged to make their private customizations.
- Please see <ulink url="../user-manual/actions-file.html">the actions chapter</ulink>
- in the <ulink url="../user-manual/index.html">User Manual</ulink> for a more
- detailed explanation.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- Earlier versions included three different versions of the
- <filename>default.action</filename> file. The new scheme allows for
- greater flexibility of local configuration, and for browser based
- selection of pre-defined <quote>aggressiveness</quote> levels.
+ Please have a look at the <ulink url="../user-manual/actions-file.html">the actions chapter</ulink>
+ in the <ulink url="../user-manual/index.html">User Manual</ulink> for a detailed explanation.

+Revision 2.64 2009/07/18 12:18:52 fabiankeil
+Don't describe the action files in the FAQ when we can simply link to the description in the User Manual.
+
+Revision 2.63 2009/06/15 15:08:03 fabiankeil

+Update entities for 3.0.13 beta.
+
+Revision 2.61 2009/06/12 11:52:33 fabiankeil
+Mention the TODO list in the participate entry.
+
+Revision 2.60 2009/04/07 12:25:05 fabiankeil
+In the "I would like to help ..." entry:
+- Change the ids to more general ones as helping out doesn't require
+ joining the team (and joining the team requires significantly helping
+ out first, anyway).
+- Add links to the subscription pages for the main mailing lists.
+
+Revision 2.59 2009/03/28 15:33:41 fabiankeil
+Recommend the use of forward-socks5 when forwarding to Tor.
+The error messages are more detailed than with forward-socks4a.

Turn the donation entry title into a question,
also rephrase the content a bit.
