BUILD WITH R7S
Great databases do not have to be built alone.
R7S can become a place where researchers, editors, testers, designers and developers work together — on R7S projects or on community databases created by other people.
Join R7S projects
Help with the R7S Legends Database, future FM databases, facepacks, historical research, QA, tools or website development.
Help other creators
Offer your skills to community database projects that need research, testing, graphics, editor work or technical support.
Bring your own project
If you have a Football Manager database idea, submit it and explain what kind of collaborators you need to move it forward.
WHERE PEOPLE CAN HELP
Different skills. One stronger project.
Research
Players, clubs, eras, careers, statistics, playing histories and source checking.
Database editing
FM Editor work, XML, attributes, positions, CA/PA, contracts, histories and data structures.
QA & testing
Fresh-save testing, duplicate checks, donor contamination, regression checks and issue reproduction.
Graphics
Facepacks, cut-outs, IDs/DBIDs, cover art, social graphics and visual assets.
Technical
Web development, tooling, automation, data processing and utilities for creators.
Community
Translations, documentation, guides, moderation and creator-to-creator support.
HOW IT SHOULD WORK
Open collaboration without losing project control.
People can volunteer for a specific area instead of needing access to an entire database. That makes it easier to use specialist researchers, testers or designers safely.
Creators can also bring their own projects. R7S can act as a meeting point where contributors discover work that matches their skills.
Project owners remain responsible for deciding access, credits, responsibilities, release ownership and whether a collaboration is accepted.
