Comunidad
There are a range of available resources for users and contributors communities. Our resources and groups are spread across different platforms and geographic regions. More information about these resources can be found below.
User Forum
Our User Forum is the main place where the AtoM community comes to meet, talk, make announcements, share resources, and discuss issues relevant to the software and the community.
User Groups
There are a number of regional user groups to join. They provide support, discuss user stories and share resources. Want to start one? Share the details on the wiki for others to find.
Community Wiki
The AtoM Wiki has a Community section that is full of useful community resources. This includes links to regional user groups and learning materials.
AtoM Foundation
The AtoM Foundation is a non-profit established in 2018 to oversee and support the development, sustainability and adoption of AtoM as a multilingual, multi-repository open source application for standards-based archival description and access.
Github
AtoM's code is hosted on Github. Log issues, offer pull requests, and make comments related to the AtoM code. For further information, please see Contribute Code.
Roadmap
The current roadmap for AtoM can be found on GitHub. This lists current and future release information, as well as areas for future research and development.
Community Development Meetings
We are beta-testing opportunities for contributors to get more involved with the development process. The meeting minutes are available on GitHub.
Contributor Gatherings
Do you contribute code, documentation or issues? If not, do you want to? Gatherings are held at least twice a year for contributors to meet up and talk with each other and Artefactual.
Contribute Translations
Your contributions help to further AtoM as a multilingual application with a global reach.
In our continuing efforts to make the process of translating the AtoM interface more efficient, Artefactual Systems uses Weblate, an open source web-based translation management system supporting continuous translation from multiple sources. More than one translator can contribute translated strings, making the process fast and easy. Everything is web-based using Weblate, meaning you can access your translation work via any web browser.
Full guidance on translation contributions can be found here.
