Community project contributions

So, eDRUMin has become my new obsession (yes, I need to get out more...) as its brought drumming joy back to me and inspired me to build a new A2E kit and get an online drum teacher.
It also seems to be building a nice community of like-minded people around it.
It's the sort of excellent thing I would like contribute further too, but in a constructive (and welcome) way - and I wondered if others feel the same?
Community contributions could include:
- forum contributions (happening already)
- beta testing and feedback (happening already, although is the forum the best place for this? Would issue tracking similar to GitHub be easier to manage?)
- feature requests (again, is GitHub or similar a better place than the forum?)
- forum moderation - although, not sure this is necessary (yet)
- a Patreon, to support continued development, as a one-off eDRUMin purchase can only go so far (Rob has already politely declined this elsewhere)
- putting source code on GitHub for contribution (again, already politely declined)
- a Wiki type / GitHub / ReadTheDocs community written online manual, as features are changing rapidly and Rob has already admitted succinct manual writing is hard!
- Demonstration and training videos, especially for some of the more nuanced features like calibrating rim shots and HH pedals
any other ideas?
