Contribute to the Joomla! Project

Now that you've learned about Joomla and you've finished building your first website, it's time to give back to the Joomla project.

Joomla is a community of volunteers, collaborating to build the best content management system in the world. Everyone does what they can to make Joomla a better product and make others aware of its virtues.

Of course, you can download and use Joomla free, and you don't have to contribute anything to use it. However, the Joomla community is a much better place if you contribute to it in some way. This is particularly true if you're deriving personal financial gain from using Joomla. I would argue that you have a responsibility to contribute, either financially or with your time, if you are paid for creating websites with Joomla.
