With the means of testing the app, you can really start contributing.
If you're new to Android development and don't know where to start, I recommend the
[Android guides from Codepath](https://guides.codepath.com/android). They have a large
volume of moderately helpful tutorials on both the Android SDK and some popular libaries.
If you like spending money, [this is also a good starting point](https://www.amazon.com/Android-Programming-Ranch-Guide-Guides/dp/0321804333), though it pretty much just covers
the Android SDK, ignoring lots of very helpful libraries (which are used often by this project).
To Do
---
* Write tests
* Make it look pretty
* Add some Android stuff (notifications, widgets, etc)
* Make it actually work
What's Open
===
Simple Android app that gets data from the [What's Open API](https://whatsopen.gmu.edu/api/) and
displays it in an (ostensibly) pretty way, with some Android-specific bells and whistles.
Contributing
---
What's Open needs all the help it can get. Even if you don't feel
like you can be helpful with the heavily technical aspects,
we definitely need designers and technical writers.
There are many things that can be done with this project (see the "To Do"
section), but sometimes it's the small things that count, so don't be afraid of
contributing just for a spelling mistake.
If you need help at all please contact any SRCT member. We want people to
contribute, so if you are struggling, or just want to learn, then we are willing
to help.
