The best way to help iMechanica is to make iMechanica help you. Let software and the collective behavior of users take care of the community. This principle is illustrated in the following examples.

Become an authenticated user by registering for a free account. Visit iMechanica as often as you find useful. The more registered users iMechanica has, the more people will be willing to post their best work, and the more useful iMechanica will be to you.

Publicize iMechanica to your friends and colleagues. Again, the more people register, the better posts iMechanica will have.

If you find a post or a comment that a friend might enjoy, send her an email. Here is how to send an email with a hyperlink to the post or comment with 3 clicks. If you think that she has an opinion on the entry, urge her to enter a comment.  In doing so, you serve the function of an editor of a journal, matching a submission with a reviewer.  iMechanica enables everyone to be an editor. 

Of course, you can always email the URL of your own post or comment to a friend and ask for comments.

Learn to write in iMechanica.

Write comments on other people's posts whenever you feel like. A good comment helps the author of the original post, and also brings credit to you.

Post preprints of your recent papers, a practice permitted by most journals. You can even post a preprint of a paper already published in a journal, so that your paper gets one more chance to find its readers.

Post your original ideas, unpublished anywhere. iMechanica will authenticate your priority by providing a time stamp. There may be ambiguity about whether an idea is original, but there should be no ambiguity about who posts what and when.

iMechanica is running at very low cost, and has no financial pressure. If you would like to develop an ambitious project on iMechanica, you may wish to raise funds for your work.

If you have other approaches to enable iMechanica to better help you, be an iMechanician and explain the mechanics of your approaches in a comment below.

iMechanica runs like a common. It belongs to no one in particular. It belongs to whoever uses it.
