В биологията, мутуализъм се нарича връзка между два индивида, при която те имат взаимна полза. Този принцип може също да се приложи и за активните и мотивирани членове на Arch обществото, които искат да допринесат за развитието на тяхната любима дистрибуция, като по този начин имат полза не само те, но и всички останали ползващи Arch Linux, също така и всички фенове на свободния отворен софтуер.

## Форуми

Един от най-лесните начини да се включите е като участвате в Arch Linux форумите. Моля първо прочетете Forum etiquette, след което се чувствайте свободни да споделите вашите идеи, да подадете помщ на нови потребители и да се запознаете с вашата общност. Използвайте опцията за докладване (Report) (в долния десен ъгъл на всяка публикация във форума), за да уведомите екипа на форума за злоупотреби.

## Wiki

Wikis, by design, thrive on collaboration.

ArchWiki is a community documentation process. The contents are created by the community for the community. Contributors volunteer their time and energy to share their knowledge and skill with the community. All users are encouraged to contribute. Tasks on ArchWiki can roughly be divided into the following:

- Technical maintenance
- Content management
- Content editing
- Content creation and translation

If you feel capable of editing wiki pages, please see if you can manage tasks outlined in this section.

1. Flag articles with appropriate article status templates (e.g. `{{Deletion}}`, `{{Out of date}}`, `{{Translateme}}`, etc.)
2. Add content to stubs and expand incomplete or poorly-written articles.
3. Add or improve translations; ensure that translations are in sync with each other.
4. Reduce and combine duplicate pages.
5. Correct inaccurate or outdated content, spelling, grammar, language, and style.
6. Reduce the number of categories. Scan the wiki for similar categories that should be combined; improve wiki navigation.
7. Categorize uncategorized pages.
8. Add article summary boxes to all articles.
9. Update the FAQ with relevant questions from the forum and remove obsolete questions.

Other useful pages for cleanup:

- Requests
- Reports
- Broken redirects
- Double redirects
- Short pages

In the long run, the goal is a professional and easily-navigated wiki, such that supplementary guides, documenters, etc. are unnecessary. This is a community effort, but wiki maintenance is often a tedious and thankless task. If you take on the task seriously, a formal position as a wiki maintainer may be in order. This gives the job purpose and recognition.

## Bugs

Opening (and closing) bug reports on the Arch Linux Bug Tracker is one of the possible ways to help the community. However, ineffective use of the bug-tracker can be counter-productive instead of being useful. This article will guide anyone wanting to help the community efficiently by reporting or hunting bugs.

## AUR

The Arch User Repository is a community-driven repository of PKGBUILDs for Arch users. Packages in the AUR are built by the PKGBUILDs and are not pre-built binaries like from the official repositories. The AUR was created to organize and share new packages from the community and to help expedite popular packages' inclusion into the `[community]` repository.

## Community projects

Arch has a vital and active community of software developers and contributing projects. If you have a project you would like to link to, this is a great place to do it. Include a link to your project, the date your project started, and a brief (one or two sentence) description of your project.

Note: All projects listed here are community projects. None of these projects are considered official Arch projects.

## As a developer...

This entry is mainly based on this post in Arch's BBS

Firstly, remember that the main motivation for your work on Arch should be helping the whole community, and not trying to become an "Arch developer" by any means. Secondly, you are also part of the community; to provide help to others means you will also help yourself.

### What can I do?

Here is a list, in no particular order, of things that you may want to do in order to make yourself useful to the community:

- Establish a reputation as being helpful by offering assistance whenever possible
- Answer questions on the forum, IRC, and mailing lists
- Join the Trusted Users to gain packaging experience to show your skills
- Submit packages to the AUR
- Join one of the offshoot projects that may be incorporated into Arch mainstream someday, or start your own
- Work on pacman, makepkg, initscripts, or other source code and submit patches to the bug tracker
- Traverse the bug tracker and fix existing bugs
- Find and submit new bugs
- Fix wiki errors, add new pages, clean up existing pages, and make sure the procedures are up-to-date
- Submit translations

### How can I become an Arch developer?

Usually, new developers are picked by the existing developers as the workload increases. Sometimes they post a position and you can apply to fill it, but more often, they just invite somebody they know would be good at it and would fit in well with the rest of the team. Having a portfolio of Arch contributions is the best way to make it on the team.

## As an artist...

Feel free to share wallpapers, splash screens, color palettes, widgets, themes, etc. with the community on the forum.
