This project was part of Mozilla Open leader 6 and an initiative on how to include community development workers, international development workers, activists and volunteers as an integral part of the contribution process and can see how their experiences and input can improve our tools that will help them with their causes. We found that often, these people don't code, but want to contribute in their knowledge and experiences. They have a deep understanding of what tools need to do in order to make a positive change in the work that they do. We're currently still developing the process in which these community development workers, international development workers, activists and volunteers can contribute.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ushahidi.com/platform-developer-documentation/dev-legacy-v3/contributing-or-getting-involved/encouraging-contribution-from-non-developers.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
