Dreamwidth places a big emphasis on its volunteers, who can help in a variety of areas across the site. For information on why we think volunteers are awesome, you can read the page about our Volunteer Philosophy and the Guide to happy and effective volunteering

We welcome all volunteers who want to contribute to the process.

General Volunteering Information

If you want to volunteer in any area where you will produce code or text for the site (FAQs etc.), you will need to fill out a Contributor Licensing Agreement.

There are several areas in which we need volunteers. Project leaders are linked on the Project Teams page.
