* [http://ssf.sahanafoundation.org/eden/project/task Tasks Recorded in the Sahana Software Foundation Information Management Tool]

There are a range of different tasks for people to get involved with, including coding, testing, documentation and data wrangling.

== When ==
23rd - 25th March 2012
NOW - Join the [wiki:Chat #sahana-eden IRC channel] to participate.

== Who ==
Anyone & Everyone! If you've been interested in getting involved with the Sahana Community or want o see how Sahana Eden can be used, then this is your chance. The Sahanathon could also be a good opportunity for prospective GSoC Students to engage with the community (the student application period is March 17th - April 7th). If you're interested in getting involved please fill in your details on the [https://docs.google.com/a/sahanafoundation.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuNG6ihli0CudDFCWXc4MVc5bVk1YnhUUEJGenllMkE#gid=0 Sahanathon Roster].

== How to Participate ==

=== Read the Book & Wiki ===
The Sahana Community has prepared a [wiki:Book Sahana Eden Essentials Book] which is the best guide for new developers getting started. There's also heaps of documentation to help people on the wiki. Try starting on the [wiki:Develop] page or see the [wiki:TitleIndex] for a list of all wiki pages.

=== Get the Code ===
Whilst the usual process applies that most development is done in Trunk (https://github.com/flavour/eden) with only configuration settings & theme in the branch, for Sahanathon, we need to adopt a faster model where we work direct in the branch & then back-port things to Trunk later, once the dust has settled. This is the branch of code we will use during the Sahanathon:

https://github.com/flavour/ssf

Follow these instructions: DeveloperGuidelines/Git to fork this branch (replace https://github.com/flavour/eden -> https://github.com/flavour/ssf in the instructions) and submit Pull Requests to this branch.

=== Join the Community ===
