Ignition Key

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

    • 0

      You can sign up as a developer and download the code at https://sourceforge.net/p/ignitionkey/code/. Feel free to add features, find bugs, clean up the architecture, etc. I build the application for my own use, so if you want it to behave differently or have ideas, please let me know.

      Current tickets are available at https://sourceforge.net/p/ignitionkey/tickets/

      Write documentation

      Make a readme or a writeup I can post on the wiki about how to use Ignition Key and describe the features.

      • 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?

    • 0
      Write an installer

      Find a good open source installer framework and use it to package the same files that are in the zip file currently. Have it install the application to a directory that the user can choose and allow the installer to put the program into the startup items.

      • 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 Ignition Key that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      Free up memory when WPF window is not in use

      The application context still holds on to references of WPF unmanaged resources even when the WPF window is closed. It would be best if this could be garbage collected but I'm not sure how to clear all of these references and I believe it will require some refactoring.

      • 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.
