 The '''Instant-Cquotes''' script is a userscript implemented in JavaScript in order to convert [http://forum.flightgear.org/ forum] or [[mailing list]] quotes into MediaWiki markup.  It is supported by Firefox, Google Chrome/Chromium, Opera, and Safari.

+|1= As someone new coming to FG, it's pretty tricky to get a handle on what's going on, what's being worked on, what needs fixed and so on. Of course this is an issue for all software projects, and there's different solutions depending on the nature of the team, how many active contributors exist and so on. FG seems to have a few potential  tracking 'points' - the Developer Wiki, the SourceForge tracker / bug system, some (mandated) files in CVS (ToDos) and the usual source code 'FIXME' annotations (which something like Doxygen can extract, if formatted suitably).

 == Background ==
 FlightGear's development is not centrally coordinated in any way – at best, it is "self-coordinated," i.e., contributors discuss ideas and make proposals to contribute in a certain fashion and then team up to implement certain features and building blocks.
