How you can Help

Some of these plugins are nifity and down right useful; what they lack is:

  • testing - try out these plugins, give me feedback (even if they work!). Unless we put the time in to test and have confidence in these plugins they will remain as experiments.
  • polish - we need to make sure the workflow is friendly and the icons make sense and all the usual care and attention required for integration with the uDig application
  • time (or funding) - if you can help out with feedback that would be great, if you can help out with funds (perhaps you need a north arrow for your application?) that would be good too. If you can help out with patches that would be wonderful
  • documentation
