 == Translation ==
 
+Translation is basically part of the development effort. For more details please take a look at this page:
 See [wiki:TranslationIntro]
+
+== Documentation ==
+
+The documentation of Padre is standard POD embedded in the .pm files. If you'd like to 
+improve those you should check out the source code of Padre as described above and send
+patches or ask for commit bit. The documentation is part of the regular development process.
+
+
+== QA/Testing ==
+
+Unfortunately Padre has not enough automated test mostly due to the fact that 
+we hardly know how to test GUI applications. The existing tests are located 
+in the standard t/ directory. 
+If you'd like to help in this and if you are on Windows you could take a look at the 
+t/win32/ directory where we have a few tests written using Win32::GUItest.
+You would be very highly regarded if you improved the test coverage of Padre!!
