Occasionally, people join the [[FlightGear]] mailing lists offering to contribute to FlightGear and asking where they might start contributing, apparently often hoping for some sort of official "TODO" list or at least some sort of semi-official roadmap. Unfortunately, nothing like this exists so far for FlightGear and the closest thing to a "TODO" page, the "Goals page", has apparently not really been updated for several years. | Occasionally, people join the [[FlightGear]] mailing lists offering to contribute to FlightGear and asking where they might start contributing, apparently often hoping for some sort of official "TODO" list or at least some sort of semi-official roadmap.

In addition, many developers find it often hard to come up with suggestions for "mini projects", not because there are not any such opportunities, but rather because there does not exist any sort of general schedule or development plan. However, FlightGear itself does indeed offer a very broad range of often exciting contribution possibilities, this page is dedicated to providing a collection of such ideas that were discussed on the mailing lists. Not all of these ideas are necessarily "mini projects", rather some of these can be quite complex efforts that were simply not pursued because of the very complexity. | In addition, many developers find it often hard to come up with suggestions for "mini projects", not because there are not any such opportunities, but rather because there does not exist any sort of general schedule or development plan.

Please note: while this list is only meant to provide an overview of desirable short- and long-term features for FlightGear itself, there are meanwhile various interesting FlightGear-related co-projects, that you might want to check out for other interesting possibilities to contribute to the FlightGear community as a whole, for example: | Please note: while this list is only meant to provide an overview of desirable short- and long-term features for FlightGear itself, there are meanwhile various interesting FlightGear-related co-projects, that you might want to check out for other interesting possibilities to contribute to the FlightGear community as a whole, for example: | ||
