Summary of Projects

Overview

Contributing Source Code to OpenPetra.org outlines how we go about contributions from programmers to OpenPetra.

Projects to get started with OpenPetra.org

These are projects that might be easy for developers to get started with OpenPetra.org:

• Design some database diagrams: see also SQL Diagram creation
  • Please also have a look at the old Petra 2.1 diagrams (download 9 png files in a zip file). The diagrams might need to be a bit smaller and more specific, otherwise they get too big and complicated.
• Caching datatables on the client in an SQLite db: Details in Tracker
• Create a WebMin Module for OpenPetra.org for the server running on Linux: Details in Tracker
• data liberation: Import/Export of data

High Priority Projects

• OpenPetra Installers
• Import sample partner data (names, addresses) (see Details in Tracker)
• Banking plugins
• Link to office applications

Low Priority Projects

Things which are 'nice to have':

• Browser based client
• Packages for several Linux Distributions

General List of Things That Need to be Done

Please have a look on the Mantis Tracker for all sorts of things that need to be done!

Also some projects that need more documentation than the tracker can hold:

• Data Conversion from Petra to Openpetra

Non-Programmer Projects

There is also quite a bit of work that needs to be done, and can/should be done, by people who are not programmers.

• Translation of OpenPetra: see this article about HowTo help with Translation
• Design: we might need additional icons for the ToolBar Buttons etc., so let us know if you are gifted in that area and want to help us.

Independent Projects That Might Be Useful

• SQL Diagram creation
• Progress4GL to CSharp conversion
