Thanks for helping improve our documentation!

  • There is always room for improvement!
  • All contributions (changes and change ideas) - from the largest to the tiniest - help make Nextcloud better and easier to use!

Please add a hint to generate(and use) an app password if one wants to add a Nextcloud calendar to thunderbird and activated two factor auth.
Toke me a while to find out. :)

I refer to following howto

Notes

  • Please be patient: this is a large open source project that is overseen by a mixture of volunteers and non-volunteers which are all ultimately busy.
  • If your suggestion is a troubleshooting scenario or one you're not 100% certain about, please post for feedback on the Nextcloud Help Forum first.
    • Then return here to bring back your experience to help improve the documentation for clarity, etc. (and link back to the forum discussion in your report!)

Protip: If you want to help move things along (or just help out in other ways too) here are some suggestions:

  • Look for areas where you can assist - even seemingly unrelated areas - because doing so frees up resources for your favorite topics and ideas.
  • Submit a proposed change - that attempts to addresses your issue - as a pull request.
  • Participate in a discussion on some other unresolved submitted idea ("issues") to help move it along.
  • Post a comment or review on someone else's proposed change ("pull request") to help move it along.
