Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Would like to contribute

Hi Luis,

In terms of how to embed native libraries, use this page:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqNativeLibraries

In terms of dependencies and what you bring along versus what you ask the user to install, that's up to how much effort you want to put into it, who you think the target user is, and how many platforms you want to target. Autopsy won't care.

Is there any guideline on how to embed native libs into the module? And would it be better to embed a portable LibreOffice into the module (some hundreds of megabytes, ~100 MB zipped) or to ask the user to download and install LibreOffice to enable all module features?

Looking at the developers guidelines, apis and source, I think I could contribute with one or some modules. I have been working for the last three years on a java analisys tool and I think that I could adapt some of its modules to autopsy modules.
