+ <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>
+ <ul>
+ <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>
