Spare time? Nothing to do? Want to give back?There are a number of ways that you can contribute to help make GRASS a better GIS system. Perhaps the most important way to contribute is to write high-quality code for solving old and new problems, and to make your code freely available for others to use. For inspiration, we have a wish-list of projects and feature requests. Just pick a task from the list. It may be a good idea to send a small posting to a related GRASS mailing list to announce your activities (maybe someone will join you!).C and Python ProgrammingIf you've already written a useful function or module for GRASS that you would like to make available for others to use, please post it to the GRASS developers mailing list. GRASS standard code should be written in ANSI-C, as appropriate also in Python. Messages sent to this list will be seen by the GRASS maintainers, and will be considered for inclusion in future releases of GRASS. The messages are also archived, so even if the code is not included in a future release, it will remain available for others to use.In greater detail:
Writing/Updating/Improving documentationIf you see manual pages or other documents which are outdated, grammatically incorrect, too short, lacking examples, etc. please don't hesitate to send revised text segments (preferably in HTML) to one of the developers or the related mailing list.Also updates to the web pages are welcome. Just use the contact address at the bottom of this page, or use our new feature request and bug tracking system. You can request features and report issues with web pages, but if you have the skills and time, please consider sending actual segments of corrected or new text or even html, rather than general statements, to speed up the update process (patches can be submitted in the "website patches" tracker). See the bug tracking info page for more information on the new OSGeo Trac system. Translating GRASS: i18NYou would like to see GRASS talking your language? Please help to translate the messages. No programming skills required! For details, see the GRASS i18N page.FundingIf you find GRASS useful, consider providing additional funding to continue its development. Even a modest amount of additional funding could make a significant difference in the amount of time that its author can devote to development and support.Other contributionsIf you are not a programmer and cannot provide funding or contribute code, you can still help make GRASS better and more reliable by reporting any bugs you find in the latest version and/or by offering suggestions for ways to improve GRASS. The GRASS Development Team appreciates to hear from you!
