I would be **delighted** to have your help in improving fmWorkmate for the FileMaker developer community.

Particularly

- fmWorkMate on Windows
- I'm a Mac user with no time to develop and test stuff on Windows
- There's probably not a lot that needs tweaking to get it working on Windows
- Some MBS-based functionality is not possible on windows, but that stuff can just be elegantly hidden or worked around
- …with your help!
- fmWorkMate documentation
- Whether it be correcting or making clearer existing documentation,
- or documenting use cases
- or making videos
- Issues
- Found a bug? Let us know! Create an [issue](https://github.com/mrwatson-de/fmWorkMate/issues)
- Got an idea? Let us know! Create an [issue](https://github.com/mrwatson-de/fmWorkMate/issues)
- Missing some documentation? Let us know! Create an [issue](https://github.com/mrwatson-de/fmWorkMate/issues)
- Spreading the word
- by mouth
- by social media
- by screencast
