Before starting to work...
... on the howtos, let's check that we have the necessary tools.
01. Software required
We need to have installed the following software in our computer.
- Git: A control version system, a software that allows us to track modifications to files, keeping a record of all the changes made, so if we need to revert to a specific version we can do it in a relatively easy way. It is also a powerful collaboration tool, since it allows many people working on the same files of a project.
What is Git? / Download & installation instructions
- A text editor: we suggest a text editor with Markdown and Git support.
* These three are both multiplatform and free/libre and open source software.
02. A Disroot Forgejo account
In order to be able to submit our work, we will need to register an account on Disroot's Forgejo instance (Disroot credentials will not work).
To register an account at the instance where our repository is, go here.
03. Request access to the Howto repository
To be able to submit our work to Disroot's git repository, we will need to request access to it first.

This can be done through the Howto XMPP chat room:
howto@chat.disroot.org(suggested method) -
Or via email to
howto@disroot.org
Ok, now we can start with the translations or write a tutorial.
