HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE
|
||
|
||
|
||
Imprudence isn't just a project for programmers. No matter your
|
||
skills (or lack thereof) or how much time you can commit, there's
|
||
a way for you to be a part of it.
|
||
|
||
|
||
EVERYBODY AND THEIR GRANDMAS
|
||
|
||
Here are some good ways anybody can help out:
|
||
|
||
* Let us know what you think needs to be improved about the SL
|
||
Viewer.
|
||
|
||
* Participate in discussions on the forums or mailing list.
|
||
(Visit ImprudenceViewer.org for links to both of those.)
|
||
|
||
* Try out the Imprudence Viewer (when it's released) and give
|
||
feedback about it.
|
||
|
||
* Watch a friend, family member, or co-worker to try SL for the
|
||
first time, and take notes about the things they find difficult
|
||
or confusing.
|
||
|
||
* Blog about the latest Imprudence news and developments (either
|
||
on the ImprudenceViewer.org blog or your own).
|
||
|
||
* Help organize and coordinate other volunteers to keep things
|
||
running smoothly.
|
||
|
||
* Tell a friend and get them involved too!
|
||
|
||
|
||
ARTISTS, DESIGNERS, AND UI FREAKS
|
||
|
||
If you happen to have some graphics skill or an interest in User
|
||
Interface design, here are some things you could do:
|
||
|
||
* Work with users to turn their ideas into something people can
|
||
look at.
|
||
|
||
* Make a sketch or Flash mock-up of how some part of the UI
|
||
should behave, look, or be organized.
|
||
|
||
* Offer suggestions and constructive criticism about other
|
||
people's designs.
|
||
|
||
* Create or improve a color scheme or skin for the Viewer.
|
||
|
||
* Paint some graphics or icons for a UI-in-progress.
|
||
|
||
* Hook up with a programmer and turn your design into a real,
|
||
working interface!
|
||
|
||
|
||
CODE MONKEYS AND TEKKIE-WIKIS
|
||
|
||
Of course, there's always plenty for programmers and other
|
||
tech-savvy people to do:
|
||
|
||
* Compile a Viewer branch for other people to download and test.
|
||
|
||
* Try out a patch to make sure it applies cleanly, and make a Git
|
||
branch so others can easily merge the changes.
|
||
|
||
* Clean up or add comments/documentation for part of the source
|
||
code.
|
||
|
||
* Fix a bug or optimize a slow piece of code.
|
||
|
||
* Work with a designer to bring a UI concept to life!
|
||
|
||
|
||
OTHER REALLY COOL PEOPLE
|
||
|
||
We're also looking for people who can help with:
|
||
|
||
* Accessibility. We'd love to make it easier for people with
|
||
disabilities to have a functional and satisfying SL experience,
|
||
but we need people with the knowledge and experience to help us
|
||
identify the biggest hurdles and find solutions.
|
||
|
||
* Localization & Translation. Many of the non-English UI
|
||
translations are awkward or wrong, but only someone who knows
|
||
the language can make them better. If you are fluent in both
|
||
English and another tongue, please help us add or improve the
|
||
translation for your language.
|
||
|
||
|
||
GOT ANOTHER IDEA?
|
||
|
||
There are many more ways to get involved than we could list here;
|
||
and there are surely some good ones that you can think of, but that
|
||
we hadn't! Don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like to help
|
||
out, even if it's not listed here!
