The
eCS Community is not large, but if each one of us could get one
person to start and use eCS each year, then where could we be in a
short few years. It's important we look to the future especially
as some of us get older or become more occupied with things like
kids, a job, whatever.
There
are also other things we can do depending on one's abilities and
time. Below I thought I would make a little chart of just that.
Look it over and if you consider yourself an eCS user then you
should seriously think about contributing.

I've got time and I
like to program!

You
my friend, are on top of the food chain. eCS cannot have enough
programmers. You are the life blood of our OS and we are
grateful.
Look
for a need to fill, which is easy, just read the forums and
newsgroups and people are always asking for something.
I
would suggest starting at this site:
http://www.edm2.com
http://ewiki.ecomstation.nl/HomePage
Go
here...see a need and fill it!
http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/The_Warp_Wishlist
After that, don't
hesitate to contact anyone that is writing a program, the eCS
community is very friendly!

|
I've got time and I
enjoy web design!
|
Design a fan site!
Whatever has your interest in eCS, sit down and write about it.
Be informative to current and (hopefully) new people.

|
I've got time and I
have no idea how to do much.
|
Then
be heard! Don't stand quietly in the background. Participate in
the Newsgroups and forums. Talk about what you are doing with
eCS and make sure to tell programers what a good job they are
doing via email.
Share ideas, go on
Wiki and look for programs out there and make sure if there is
an eCS version, to make sure it's stated. If not, put it there!

If
your using anything but eCS 2.0, think about buying it! There
are several locations to do this. If for any reason it promotes
the growth of the OS!
For
the love of God, if your using Warp 4, upgrade! I'm not saying
it's bad but get with the times! (I told everyone this is a eCS
site...not OS/2 Warp)
Click
here to find out who sells it!
If you have eCS 2,
do you have a Software Subscription? If not, this is also a
good way to give back and allows for the further growth of the
OS!

I've got no time,
