Getting Started

Higgins Volunteer Opportunites

Looking to get involved in Higgins? Have some ideas you want to implement? A release 1.0 is a major milestone. It is also just the beginning. A foundation to build on. There is more work to be done and more ideas to be implemented to support the vision of user-centric identity and data portability. Please join us!

Current opportunities include:

* Develop additional Context Providers - Connect your favorite software to Higgins!

* Interoperability testing - prepare for the next interop (especially with software you have)

* Technical writing - improve the wiki, web site, and documentation

* Web site design - make the Higgins site more appealing, more friendly, more cool

* C++ builds

* Other ideas - surprise us!
