The best "open source" sites I've seen are two in Finland. -I don't have the URLs at hand anymore - They are simple ftp sites they called "Garbo"s and were maintained by a University in Helsinki and another in Oulu. I found them through the many QBasic sites around but these Garbos were mostly C and Pascal. Guidelines for submission are clearly described. Many of the programs posted are "works in progress" at best, but there are some real gems, too. Commercial Linux distributions include many of these open source postings. Linux owes a lot to the Finlanders. -----Original Message----- From: uak [SMTP:uak at nerp.net] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 11:48 AM To: tclug Subject: [TCLUG] open source contributions topic idea for Jan: So, how _does_ one contribute to the open source community? Where do you start? Who do you contact? Anyone with this kind of experience want to comment about this? Lord knows we need (more) tech writers to document what programmers have failed to clarify to the general public, etc. uak _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
