There are many ways we can get involved with the development of the platform. All of these have been done by contributors since going open source although I doubt this is a complete list: - C/C++/Objective-C/Java - Contribute to the engine code by fixing bugs or adding features - Contribute to the externals that come with LiveCode - Contribute to or implement your own externals and release under a FOSS license - LiveCode Builder - Contribute to widgets and libraries that come with LiveCode - Contribute to or implement your own widgets and libraries and release under a FOSS license - LiveCode Script - Contribute to the script only stack portions of the IDE (most of the code in LC8) - Contribute to or implement script libraries, frameworks and custom controls and release under a FOSS license - Documentation - Edit the dictionary entries and guides - Create new guides and contribute - Create learning resources and release under a FOSS license - Answer questions on stackoverflow, the lists and forums, facebook etc - Testing - Write good quality bug reports - Find old reports, test in the latest version and comment with your results Cheers Monte _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
