[Arquimedes-development] how can I help

[Cristian B. <cri...@fb...>]

Hello,
I am an architect with almost no programming experience. But I like the idea 
of making a "CAD program developed side by side with architecture offices" so 
i'd like to help. If you can tell me what can I do, which mailing list is 
better to subscribe, I don't now...
I have downloaded the 0.17.1 version an i'll try to make it run. I have a 
compaq armada with Vector linux (slakware based).

Hello Cristian,
This mailing list is a good start for sure. You could also join the 
users list where we have, from times to times, a few discussions about 
how features should be implemented.
Finally, the translator list could be nice if you can translate 
archimedes in any language not yet supported.

The most important information, however, is that we are actually 
remodeling Archimedes to make it more flexible. It is, at the present 
moment, close to something we can release again. I would suggest you 
take a good look at this version you downloaded, maybe write down all 
bugs you might find. If you experience crashes, check your temporary 
folder (it may be specified in the workspace properties dialog) for file 
like Archimedes-error-*.log

For now don't translate anything however because I have changed the 
whole translation system because of our remodeling.
For the present moment, that is mainly what you can do to help. I have 
said this a couple of times already but I do intend to make it true as 
soon as possible: I'll should be releasing an unstable version of the 
new architecture in about a week or so.

Friendly,
Hugo

Hello,
1.I subscribed to translator and user list.
2.Is there (i can't find it) a page about the planned development of archimedes, 
the main proposed feature, the file sistem, GUI etc.?
3.I installed Archimedes and crashed two times allready :) when trying to trim something and then when trying to fillet. Should I send the error log somewhere?


Thank you,
Cristian

Great! :)

Well... to be honest: No. There is no info about our plans for the future
but that's mainly because we don't know what the future will be like. :) At
the present moment we are rebuilding the features that already existed and
reorganizing them so that things get more modular. Those are our plans for
the next month or so.
>From march to july we should have a more stable and regular group
programming which should enable us to have some kind of page concentrating
all those infos.
Anyway, you are very welcome to ask anything you like here or in the users
list or even in the sourceforge foruns if you prefer. We will be glad to
answer (if we know the answer).

Hmmm. You can send it over here or directly to my email but don't expect a
quick fix since all our patches will be saved to the new architecture (our
focus for the moment).

At your services,
