-At this point, you shouldn't; doing so would frankly just slow things down and be counter-productive.  Later, when things are more stable, and development has slowed down, more people can (and should!) get involved. +Try it out, file issues for missing features and bugs.  See the [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwl4/-/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md|contribution doc]] for details.

-For now, also please do not file any issues, feature requests, or merge requests on the Gitlab issue tracker.  Things will be missing and broken, and it's likely I already know about whatever it is you're going to report.  (And if I don't, it's off my radar, and trying to put it there will only get in my way.)  After we have a preview release, then it will be time to report problems. +

-Also, feel free to clone the repo and take a look.  But, again, please don't file new issues, and please don't ask me for help with it if you can't get it running.  At this point it's a you're-on-your-own sort of situation.+
