Software development

All software in DC rely on developers to contribute code. Some software projects have directly active members and some projects rely more on submitted patches from contributors. At times, because all projects are basically volunteer work, people sometimes move from active members to contributors and back (and vice versa). All projects desire more developers. All projects can be seen at Wikipedia here and here, for NMDC and ADC respectively.

Individual projects

Some projects do not yet exist but may be an excellent way for new people to get acquainted with software development for DC. On the left is a list of suggested projects that people can work on. Lots of more items are also at Launchpad.

Translation support

DC is international, meaning that people from all over the world use it (either daily or less frequently). Most people therefore like to use their own language. Most DC software allow you to select a different language within the software, so you (or someone you downloaded the software to) can use it without any problems. This requires the input from users to provide the necessary translation support.

Question and Answer support

Most users at some point encounter problems with their software. It is up to the developers to ensure that the amount of problems are minimized (and their severity). In the mean time, it is important to be able to have a good support section (questions and answers) to be able to help the common user.

Donators

DCNF can survive by member fees and donators' support. The following people have contributed money to the organization in some way, beyond member fees. Names are obfuscated slightly (if you do wish to remove yourself from the list, let us know). Donation amounts are in Euros.

The member fees and the donations pay for two things: a webserver and the domain.
