For example:

- You could help to keep updated our Sandboxie-docs repository by providing a number of meaningful changes. More volunteers are needed to keep it constantly updated with the new introduced settings mentioned in the CHANGELOG.md file.
- You could provide new code changes that fix a specific Sandboxie functionality or introducing a new one.
- You could offer your availability to become a collaborator in the Sandboxie-docs / Sandboxie repositories (after proving your continued support with open issues and/or sufficient skills to manage pull requests).
If you are willing to become a new contributor or collaborator, please get in touch by email for further details.
