A community source model governs Sakai CLE where there is a centrally coordinated Foundation and the code is freely available to everyone.
The Sakai Foundation acts as a legal home for Sakai and supports transparent communication by building a supportive infrastructure including the bug database, the confluence Wiki, and distribution and work groups.
The community has a wide range of participants, from individuals and commercial organizations, to universities and consortiums. The universities are the main pillar of support.
The Foundation recommends that any new community members join the Announcements distribution list. This will give you an insight into current news and events.
There are many areas where you can constructively work on Sakai. These include developing, testing, documenting, discussing, and designing.
If you are not certain where you can help, you are welcome to contact the Foundation directly at http://www.sakaiproject.org/portal/site/sakai-contactus.
