[Pythoncad-developer] New Member

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

Greetings everyone,

As Matteo said, I'm hoping to help in the development of pythoncad.  I've
been a Microstation user for 12 years and for about 2 years I functioned as
my company's CAD manager.  Which was a fancy way of saying that I managed
our CAD standards and organized company wide CAD training.  So I have a good
feel for what a production level CAD package should be capable of.

My python experience is a little shakey though.  I taught myself very basic
python scripting almost 2 years ago, and I even started my own CAD package
using Tkinter Canvas to display.  I quickly ran into the limitations of
Tkinter and after a couple of months of development I abandoned it.  But the
idea of contributing to a really powerful open source CAD package has
remained appealing.

I've poked through the stable release and if feels like there's a lot of
potential there.

I still have a lot of catching up to do on familiarizing myself with the
code and the current documentation.

I haven't been involved with a project like this before and I don't know the
proper procedures for getting involved.  If anyone is willing to lend advice
I'll accept it gratefully.

Chris
