- <h2>How can I help OpenRocket?</h2>
- <p>OpenRocket is an Open Source project, meaning that the source
- code is freely available and anybody can help make the program
- better. The program is mainly developed by Sampo Niskanen in
- his free time. Help is very much appreciated. You don't even
- need coding skills, as there are other things to do as well.</p>
- <p>Below are a few suggestions of areas that would need help. If
- you'd like to participate, please
- <a href="contact.html">contact me</a> in order to coordinate the
- development efforts.</p>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="#development">Java development</a></li>
- <li><a href="#aerodynamics">Aerodynamic computation methods</a></li>
- <li><a href="#documentation">Documentation</a></li>
- <li><a href="#other">Other</a></li>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="development">Java development</h3>
- <p>Below are a few ideas about what kind of input developers can
- provide or features that could be implemented. For more
- information see the feature roadmap in the distribution
- <a href="http://openrocket.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openrocket/trunk/TODO">TODO-file</a>.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>3D visualization of the rocket during design and flight</li>
- <li>Printing of designs, simulation results, fin planforms
- etc</li>
- <li>Reading/writing RockSim and SpaceCad design files.
- <span class="note">(Reading RockSim files is already in
- progress.)</span></li>
- <li>Memory profiling and leakage reduction</li>
- <li>UI enhancements, for example zooming plots etc.</li>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="aerodynamics">Aerodynamic computation methods</h3>
- <p>There is still work to be done in the aerodynamic computation
- methods of OpenRocket. At least the following items need
- help. I will gladly provide help in creating and even
- implementing the computational methods.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Simulating rockets at supersonic velocities (drag
- coefficient and CG position).</li>
- <li>Support for external pods and tube fins</li>
- <li><acronym title="Computational Fluid Dynamics">CFD</acronym>
- methods for simulation</li>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="documentation">Documentation tasks</h3>
- <p>Contributions to the
- <a href="https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openrocket/index.php?title=User%27s_Guide">OpenRocket
- User's guide</a> are dearly needed. Below are examples of
- topics.</p>
- <p class="note">(Unfortunately the SourceForge wiki currently does
- not support public write access to the wiki. If you'd like to
- contribute, please <a href="contact.html">contact me</a> and I
- will provide you write access.)</p>

- <li>Getting started guide</li>
- <li>How to make staged and clustered designs</li>
- <li>Using mass/CG overrides for simulation accuracy</li>
- <li>Using simulations</li>
- <li>Effect of the simulation parameters</li>
- <li>Simulation method limitations</li>
- <li>Using simulation listeners (including examples)</li>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="other">Other</h3>
- <ul>
- <li>Creating good and interesting example designs that
- demonstrate some OpenRocket features.</li>
- <li>Hosting a place to share rocket designs with other
- enthusiasts.</li>
- <li>Giving input and suggestions on how to make OpenRocket
- better.</li>
