Welcome to the contributor center

Thymio and Aseba are open-source projects. Contribute means giving a bit of your time and energy to these projects. There are different levels of contribution, depending on your interests.

Contribute to the Wiki

This website (www.thymio.org) is a wiki, which means that it can be edited by anyone! Concretely, you can:

• Use the forum to ask or answer a question.
• Translate pages and documents.
• Create content by sharing your creation with us or improving an existing page or adding a new one.
• And of course, spread the word about Thymio on Google+, Facebook or Twitter :o)
• Follow the design guidelines and report any problems.

Automatic redirection and New Homepage

To help visitors find the right content we decided to change our Home page so we can display news and updates.

This page replaces the language selection page. You are now automatically redirected, based on your browser language.

Note that you have the possibility to change the language manually with the buttons in the top-left corner of any page.
