Answers
For normal people
- Is it out yet?
Yes. It is now even included with the system!
- How can I check the progress?
For people who like to code
- How can I help?
Help code things in! To get started, check out the instructions for compiling, and then head over to launchpad.net/vadi-mapper and see what could use implementation.
- Where is the project managed?
On Launchpad - the URL is launchpad.net/vadi-mapper. Launchpad features code hosting, bug tracking, and an 'answers' section - all of that nicely integrated to work together.
- How can I compile the mapper?
Check out the instructions for compiling here (click).
- I've got an idea - what do I do now?
Sweet. Head over to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/vadi-mapper/, and register it. It'll be then reviewed, talked about, drafted, and then implemented!
- ... that sounds like a lot of stuff to do. What if I want to make just a small thing?
That depends on 'how small is it'. If you're unsure, just make a blueprint, and it'll go through quickly.
- I want to code something in - how can it be integrated?
For people who like to map
- I want to help map!
That's great! Please join us in the chatroom for instructions.
- Can I help out with my zMud map?
I'm afraid no - zmud is closed-source, and nobody knows how to "read" stuff from a zmud map except zmud itself.
