ApplePi

  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

    • 0

      Google and get the feel of GMP, get a bare basic knowledge of C++ and have a C++ IDE ready. It wouldn't hurt to have some SVN software installed as well (you would need it to get to the code). Also, tell me directly via email so I can set up a SVN account.

      • Tip:

        Talk about diverse kinds of contributions. Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Examples:

        Here's how to download and patch our codes…

        Read about our death-defying mailing list and momentous IRC channel at http://lobstermag.net.

  • Q: Other than writing code, how can I contribute?

    • [X]

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

    • [X]

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with ApplePi that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      The decimal limit.

      I can compute more than just 275,000 digits of pi, its just that I cant write anything bigger to a file without crashing the program.

      The bit limit.

      Maybe there is a way that can get more precision in bits but the current max can only get me about 1,000,000 bits of precision. I think its less precision I am asking for and more decimal places because there seems to be a finite limit on how much decimal places I can have and I would want to break that limit.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
