Getting involved as a contributor
------------------------------------------
We love working with contributors for Exchange EWS Provider, but it does require a few skills. You will need to know some Javascript, XUL, some CSS and a basic familiarity with GitHub.
If you know some Javascript, it's worth having a look at the Object Oriented Programming to understand the basic concepts of class based coding and especially for xul window objects.
If you need to brush-up on programming, but are eager to start contributing immediately, please consider helping us find bugs in Github [Exchange EWS Provider][Exchange EWS Provider] or find bugs in the Issues tested by the [EricssonQA][EricssonQA] team. To brush up on Javascript skills before engaging with us, Dive Into Javascript [mozilla][mozilla] is an excellent resource. W3schools also has [notes on Javascript][w3schools] available through their website. The programming concepts you will need to know include functions, working with classes, and some object-oriented programming basics. To brush up on XUL, Mozilla [XUL][XUL] is an easy and simple place to learn XUL, More of XUL are dynamically configured and cross-plateform.
Special thanks to all our [contributors][contributors]

Writing Code

If you want to get involved and add more code, then there's just a few things
we'd like to ask you to do:
