Hi,

If I want to contribute, where to start? I assume the project is on github? I have been a PHP programmer for over 20 years now and I use PHPStorm and am working on Ubuntu.
Where to start? I usually get the code base and start reading to get an overview. Any overview diagram would be great.

Cheers,
Jerry

There is a chapter in the German webtrees manual for developers . Maybe this rudimentary introduction can help you. There is a chapter " what should be optimized ", too.

My personal dream is an interface to chatbots like Telegram or ChatGPT. Such a new user interface could allow a user to ask: "Who of my relatives has birthday today?" or "When is aunt Dolly born?" or "show me the ancestor tree of my father".

I would suggest to start with fixing some 'simple' (ahem) bugs.
The full list is here: github.com/fisharebest/webtrees/issues
But my experience is that simple and uncontroversial bugs are fixed nearly immediate after their reporting.
So what's left are the technically tough ones and the ones where it's not so clear what should be done about it.

Best get into personal contact with Greg/FishAreBest.

stamboom.BertKoor.nl runs on webtrees v1.7.13
