Welcome¶

So you want to use Lino for writing your own applications. Great!

We offer free mentoring support to people like you. Of course we ask you to read the docs first.

As an application developer you want to write your own Lino application and focus on the business logic of your customer who wants a customized database application. You will write pure Python code and learn how to use Lino and its underlying framework, Django. This is documented in the Developer Guide.
As a contributing developer you can give back to the Lino community and actively help us to make Lino better. This is covered by the Contributor Guide.

How to contact us

Lino is free software, it belongs to us all. The mere fact of asking for help and giving feedback is already a contribution to making this guide better. The Lino community thanks you in advance.

Submit an issue to one of our repositories on GitLab (submit to the book repository if you can't decide which repository is the right one).
Subscribe to the developers@lino-framework.org mailing list and send an email.
