Contributing

NCL Composer is an open source project, so we are always open to any kind of contribution.

As well pointed by Andy Lester in 14 Ways to Contribute to Open Source without Being a Programming Genius or a Rock Star blog post, you do not need to be a Genius Programmer to contribute to any open source project (including NCL Composer). So, if you want to contribute: Do not hesitate!!!

If you are not a programmer, you can contribute to NCL Composer, through:

• Reporting BUGs
• Suggesting new features
• Helping us to write user manuals and tutorials (see some examples).
• Translating the user interface and documentation
• Promoting the project

If you are a programmer you can contribute with the things above, and also with NCL Composer's source code. See the following pages for more information:

• Roadmap for the next versions
• Building and Testing the NCL Composer on your system and report us
• Code Styles
• Submitting Patches

You can extend NCL Composer:

• Developing your own plugin

If you have created (or are creating) a plug-in to NCL Composer, let us know to include at the plug-ins page.
