Stellarium

  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

    • 0

      You can look through Stellarium's Blueprint tracker at Launchpad and pick a task that looks sane. Everyone can submit a Blueprint, so before you start working on something, write an e-mail to the Stellarium developers' mailing list to make sure that the task is actually desirable and no-one else is working on it.

      The Blueprint tracker is here:
      https://blueprints.launchpad.net/stellarium

      The mailing list is here:
      https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/stellarium-pubdevel

      • Tip:

        Talk about diverse kinds of contributions. Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Examples:

        Here's how to download and patch our codes…

        Read about our death-defying mailing list and momentous IRC channel at http://lobstermag.net.

  • Q: Other than writing code, how can I contribute?

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Stellarium that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • [X]

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
