Contributing
One of the regular thoughts expressed on the FlightGear forums is "I'd like to contribute but I don't know how to program, and I don't have the time".
Unfortunately, there is a common mis-conception that contributing requires programming and lots of free time. In fact, there are a huge range of ways to contribute to the project without needing to write code or spending days working on something.
Some ideas:
- writing articles for the next issue of this newletter
- sending corrections/updates to the FlightGear Manual
- helping new users on the forums/IRC
- writing a wiki page
- organising fly-outs
One of the easiest ways to help is to improve the scenery in your local area by placing buildings/structures using the UFO and submitting them to the FlightGear Scenery Object Database. It's easy, and best of all requires little time to have a real impact. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the wiki, Placing 3D Objects with the UFO.
