====== Participation ======

The RTL project is looking for people who are interested to work with us
in the areas of testing, documentation and development.

===== Testing =====

Testing is one of the most important tasks in any project. We have only
access to a limited number of boards and we can only run generic
procedures. We would appreciate if you run RT on your hardware with your
application specific test cases.

If you run into problems, then you have two options:

   * Report the problem. See [[realtime:communication:bugreport|"Reporting a bug"]] for further information

   * Analyze the problem and submit a patch. Don't worry if you think that your patch is not perfect. It's a start and at least you share the analysis of the problem. See [[realtime:communication:send_rt_patches|"Submitting a patch"]] for further information.

===== Documentation =====

We need help in creating and maintaining content in this wiki. Part of the
effort is to cherry pick pages of the [[http://rt.wiki.kernel.org|old wiki]] which
contain valuable information, transfer them to the new wiki and bring them
up to date. We also look for editors to document areas which are missing
completely.

[[realtime:rtl:wikilist|Here]] you can find an incomplete list of topics which need help.


If you pick a topic to work on, please mark it with your name in the
list. If you chose to pick a topic which is not in the list, please add it
and assign it to yourself.

Please see the [[realtime:edit_guideline|wiki guideline]] to get started.

===== Development =====

If you want to help with the development and mainlining effort of RT please
contact [[rt@linutronix.de|us]].

The topics, that need to be handled to get PREEMPT_RT mainlined are listed on
the [[realtime:rtl:start|RTL Collaborative Project page]].

An overview about features that are disabled by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y are listed [[realtime:documentation:known_limitations#disabled-config_-options|here]]. (The
support of those features with PREEMPT_RT_FULL is not a main part of the RTL project.)
