Collaboration

From GenosOrg

[edit] Active collaboration in the project

There are several ways of contributing to the project, and there's no need to be a developer.

As an user, you can test new GMF releases and send us your feedback about the application and the performance, report bugs or suggest improvements. You can also send an email just saying it works great.

As a developer, you can contribute creating new resources or improving the applications, maybe in those areas more useful for your company. To contribute,

1. Download latest release.

2. Find a bug or select what area you want to work in, or define a new resource class. If you want to develop a new functionality, it's better to check with the GMF team to receive feedback from other developers and to avoid effort duplication.

3. Send us a patch. Create the patch using diff ("diff -ur gmf.orig gmf >gmf.patch") and send it to us through Sourceforge.

You are most welcome!

[edit] Localization

One of the goals of the application is to provide an easy method to translate all user text to different languages, without having to modify Java source code, but only external XML/XSL files. This could be done by non-developers users. Current languages are english, spanish and catalan. You can help by sending localization files for other languages (even if you're not a developer).
