 * Help to spread the word: Many people would get huge benefit from using a free, open-source 3D modeler like FreeCAD, but simply don't know its existence. Publishing the work you do with FreeCAD, talking about it on social networks, etc... helps these people to discover FreeCAD.
 * Help newcomers: The vast majority of discussions on the forum are questions asked by new users. You might know good anwers to give them.
 * Help reporting bugs: The stablility of FreeCAD comes in large part from the fixing of bugs. Since it is not possible for the FreeCAD developers to test all possible use cases, it is important that users report problems when they detect them. Be sure to read the guidelines if you think you found a bug, and then write a report on the bug tracker.
 * Help to write documentation: The FreeCAD documentation wiki is also written by community members. Some sections of it are still incomplete, or their information incorrect or obsolete. You might be able to help to fix that. To be able to work on the wiki, you will need to familiarize yourself with wiki editing, and ask permission to edit the FreeCAD wiki on the forum.
 * Help to translate FreeCAD: The translation of FreeCAD is done online by community members, on crowdin. If you don't see your language there, ask one of the administrators to have it added.
 * Help to translate the wiki documentation: Every page of the wiki is translatable, and requires very little knowledge of the wiki syntax. Helping with translation is also a great way to learn FreeCAD.
 * Write scripts and macros: FreeCAD has a growing list of Macros. If you wrote some interesting functionality, consider sharing it there.
 * Programming: For this, you need to know how to program in Python or C++, and have a good knowledge of FreeCAD itself.
