We want your help to make the Second Life Viewer better! You don't need to know C++ or even programming to help.  Some of the toughest jobs in software development have nothing to do with writing code.  Just grab [[Downloading test builds|a test build]] and try playing around with it.  Let us know what you think on email, on the forum, or IRC. If it's not working for you, try to get help there. If it is working for you, try helping someone else.  If you run into issues, see if a bug report has been filed, and if it isn't file it.  If it has been filed, vote for it, perhaps filling in more detail.

Of course, if you ''are'' a developer, we can use your help.  Download the code - try your hand at fixing a bug, or extending the software through one of the APIs.  There's a ton of ways you can help, and we welcome you regardless of your skill level.
