You guys contribute to your distro and its community? I do simple ports to my ports based distro. Is a small community so every help counts. Maybe you guys have a larger community.
The Debian guys are huge I recon. But their contributor doesn't seem so many, Gentoo guys on the other hand seem to have more contributors somehow, I see they are in the conferences talking about security.

I would like to but I'm not a programmer or anything. Most likely i'd contribute to Arch wiki if I'm experimenting with something

You'll be surprised to know the Arch wiki is deleting content. Is more obvious when is related to something systemd replaces.
But you can make a guide, is a gret way to contribute. The guys at Debian have a lot of those on forums.
