Wanna Help The Elektra Initiative ?
We need a lot of help. The main software library is ready to be used. It must now be improved where needed and be used to become a standard. There are always documentation fixes welcomed and it would be great if you can contribute a binding or backend.

Software Patches
- We need patches for Modprobe, Samba, Apache, PAM etc to use Elektra, instead of /etc/modules.conf, /etc/smb.conf, /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, etc.
- Patches for system initialization scripts to use Elektra instead of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*, /etc/sysconfig/* files.
Marketing and Awareness
We need more participation in community events making presentations and advocating. There is an OpenOffice.org presentation entirelly commented that can be used.
So if you have good communication skills, think about making an Elektra presentation in an event close to your town.
Porting and Backends
- Elektra needs platform specific storage backends to be written. For Linux, BSD and Unix, the current backend is fine. For Windows, a Registry storage backend is needed.
- Elektra needs to be ported, mainteined and packaged in other platforms. Windows, BSD, Mac, other Unix.
- Elektra binary packages and their maintainers are need for Slackware, Debian, SuSE Linux, Mandrake, etc. I provide Fedora/Red Hat RPMs.
See Developer for more information.
