I want to keep it limited to testers. + +## Other FAQ + +### Can I Invite a Friend? + +Please bring it up in Discord so I (@mitchellh) can personally invite them. +But generally, yes! We'd rather have friends or people we know involved +in testing early on rather than strangers (although, happy to meet you!). +So if you have a friend that is interested and you think would be a great +addition, please let me know. + +### I want to help, what can I work on? + +I'd really love that, I want to foster a healthy contributing community +with Ghostty over time, and I really appreciate the help. + +Take a look at the issues list. Feel free to suggest new things. If you +have a favorite feature from some other terminal emulator, let's build it! +My only ask is that for big features, please ask the Discord first to gauge +interest/acceptance for it before opening up some huge PR. + +There are also non-core help we can use: docs, website work, Discord bots, +etc. etc. For example, a web UI to generate a configuration file would be +cool. Or a web UI to preview your color settings. + +### Is Ghostty Open Source? + +Right now technically not (no license file). But yes, it will be full +open source (by the OSI definition). I'm not sure what license to choose +yet, leaning towards going with GPL for this project but open to ideas. + +We will add a license prior to opening up the repository. During the private +beta period, I'll continue with a no license project.
