[Solved] What's the best way for me to help with Arch?
I've been using Linux for about 10 years and Arch for a little over a year. I used to do a lot of distro-hopping but I've found that since finding Arch, I haven't been doing much of that. I don't know why it took me so long to find it.
Anyway, I'd like to give back a little so what's the best way for me to help? I'm not a programmer so I'd be no help there. I have made a couple contributions to the wiki and filed a bug. I know that kind of stuff is easy and obvious. Is there anything else I could be doing?

You are on the right track with wiki contributions and filing bugs. You can also look for solutions to bugs on the bug tracker (e.g. in upstream tracker, from another distro). And helping out others on the forums is always needed. Also, try maintaining a package in the AUR that you are interested in.

I hear the Arch Linux Magazine could always use some contributions, if you're inclined towards that sort of thing. I've been wanting to write an article for a while, but I've not run into anything in my Arch experience so far that's really inspired an article out of me.

Of course I should have known it would be in the wiki. Thanks for the help.
