Hi! Mediocre Programmer, Wants to help [esp. with documentation]

[Dan Yang]

Hi everyone,

My name is Daniel Yang, I have been programming for about 5 years (mostly
c/c++). I just go into ruby about 3 months ago and am not entirely
proficient yet but I want to help.

I have been using FreeRIDE for a while and had recently gotten the urge to
work on the project. The lack of documentation however, was frustrating.
Seeing as I'm not a ruby guru yet, I probably won't be able to help much
with actual code but I feel like I could really help out with
documentation.

Do you guys need the help? If so, how should i start?


thanks

Dan,

Thanks a lot for your interest in FreeRIDE. To be honest the SW
development activity on FreeRIDE has been dormant for a while. Not that
FreeRIDE is not used anymore, quite the opposite actually because we
keep receiving email from people and bug reports.

Speaking of bug reports, you could certainly take a look at the bug list
on rubyforge and decide to investigate a few of them and ideally fix
them. It's a good way to become familiar with the source code.
Documentation would certainly help as well but FreeRIDE is not that
diffucult to understand from an end user persepctive.

Bug list is at
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=202&group_id=31&func=browse

If you want to work on it create an account on RubyForge and I'll give
you member permissions on the FreeRIDE project.

Thanks

Laurent
