We get a lot of questions about where to find documentation or the answer to a specific thing.  We do appreciate when people take the time to try to find the answer before asking.  Once you have new content to propose, a ticket or an improvement to documentation, we encourage you to get involved on that. Not all contributions are code, take, for example, this FAQ.  

Where do I get the Pentaho Reports? 

Fineract does not ship Pentaho reports or the related libraries, due to compliance issues with Apache licence.  Please head over to the Mifos community who maintains distributions of Fineract that include pentaho.  

How do I set this up on my machine? 

First, are you a developer?  If you are not, then you may not want to run fineract on your local machine.  Instead you may want to find one of the demo environments already established or make use of one of the existing cloud deployments.  Also, fineract does not come with a native front end UX.  The UX is part of the distributions that are provided by third parties, including the aforementioned Mifos Community. 

If you are a developer, then please see how to set up sections on the wiki.

How do I get something changed in the code?  How do I get a feature added? 

The project is always interested in ideas about features. That said, we notice some people expect that a feature requested is automatically developed and incorporated. That is not the case. If you have code to suggest, first discuss on the list, add an issue to the issue tracker, and then find someone to help you contribute that feature.  You are still not guaranteed that your feature will make it in, because it must also be accepted by the community. 

I represent a Company and want to contribute, how do I do that?
