Article --- [Canonical](https://canonical.com/blog/author/canonical "More about Canonical") 7 July 2016 # Contributing to the world of snaps [snapcraft](https://canonical.com/blog/tag/snapcraft) [Snaps](https://canonical.com/blog/tag/snaps) --- Share the article Zygmunt Krynicki wrote about the [availability of bite-sized bugs](http://www.zygoon.pl/2016/07/fresh-bite-sized-bugs-in-snappy.html) for the snapd project. I took this as an opportunity to go through the snapcraft bugs as well and [tag a few as bitesize](https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize) myself. snapcraft is written in python, nicely commented documented and comes with a comprehensive test-suite. The people working on it are a lovely bunch and very helpful. So if you are interested in publishing software and have some knowledge in how a certain class of projects is built, you could do a lot of good here. If you can’t write python or go (for snapd) code, that’s fine – there are lots of other ways to help out: * Help us [update our documentation](https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.tag=snap-docs), we use the snap-docs tag to indicate bugs about this. * Answer questions on AskUbuntu. the [ubuntu-core](http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/ubuntu-core) and [snapcraft](http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/snapcraft) tags help finding related questions. Good questions and answers get added to [our FAQ](https://developer.ubuntu.com/snappy/support/faq) regularly. * Get involved with the [Snappy Playpen](https://github.com/ubuntu/snappy-playpen). Either add an app you are interested in or help us clean them up. We also keep a list of [good examples](https://github.com/ubuntu/snappy-playpen/wiki/Examples) and [known issues](https://github.com/ubuntu/snappy-playpen/wiki/Known-issues). * Follow the snapcraft.io social media channels ([Twitter](https://twitter.com/snapcraftio), [Facebook](https://twitter.com/snapcraftio), [Google+](https://plus.google.com/+SnapcraftIo)) and let us know about interesting stuff. * Join us on [#snappy on Freenode](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=snappy) and on the [snapcraft mailing list](https://lists.snapcraft.io/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft) and talk to us there. This is an exciting time for Ubuntu and other distributions – we’re making software much more easily available.
