How to get involved?
We have close to 60,000 downloads of
JVCL from our Website. If everyone would volunteer only for one hour a week, we would
have almost 60,000 hours a week, or an equivalent of 1500 full-time people
working on this
project. And with this we could have tremendous results. Think about it -
only 1 hour a week. Can you
offer just 1 hour/week to JVCL?
How Can I
Contribute? Tools
that we use Where do
I start?
There are several ways in which you can contribute:
- Making suggestions for improvements and submitting
bugreports.
- Testing the JVCL, writing test cases with DUnit,
fixing existing bugs
- Help file writing. See our "Guide
for JVCL Help Writers"
- Donating components.
- Development of new components. This is similar to donating code except that it
will be carried out with a few more restrictions and in a slightly more
coordinated manner. You can submit ideas for new code via
our Issue Tracker or be assigned to
develop code based on request received from the
community.
- Unit owner. In this case you will be assigned to one or more units in the
JVCL which from that point on will be maintained by you. This means that you
will be responsible for all modifications made to that unit. For example,
bug reports and new donations will be forwarded to you for processing.
- Processing donations. This will mean that submitted code will be forwarded
to you. You factor out routines that can be included in the JVCL, reformat
them and do some initial testing. After that you forward the code to the
unit owner in which the new code is to be included.
- This is not an extensive list. If you have other ideas or suggestions: contact
us.
- If you want to donate/write components, download the JVCL
Starter Kit (236KB), and contact
us.
- If you want to do testing, write Help files, or become Unit owner, please contact
us.
