Getting started

[neoxed]

As many of you already know, IniCom has open-sourced ioFTPD under the GPL license. Development will continue as a community effort now, which means we all have to get involved. The "let someone else do all the work" mentality is not acceptable; everyone needs to get their hands dirty. :)

I'm slowly putting together information for developers and contributors on the wiki (http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000). This will include coding guides and things you can do to contribute (there are lots of non-code related things to work on).

For those that want to just dive right in, visit the ticket tracker (http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000/milestone/0.6) for a list of outstanding tickets you can work on.

Project:
SourceForge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ioftpd
Ticket tracker and wiki: http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000

Code:
SVN browser: http://ioftpd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ioftpd/
SVN repository: http://ioftpd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ioftpd/

We use Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org) as our version control system. For those uncomfortable with command-line clients, consider TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org) which integrates nicely with Windows Explorer.

Happy hacking.

Nice job Neoxys but how can we compile the svn ? Which software do I need ? Visual Studio ?

Thanks

I'm still working on the building instructions.

Ok, build instructions are up.

Let me know if you have any problems following them, or if there are some things I should elaborate/clarify.

[neoxed]

Yes, sorry about that. I did some restructuring of the wiki for the guides I'm working on.


ContribGuide (http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000/wiki/ContribGuide) - Information and ideas on you can contribute to ioFTPD
BuildGuide (http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000/wiki/BuildGuide) - Instructions for compiling ioFTPD and its library dependencies
DevGuide (http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000/wiki/DevGuide) - Guidelines for developing code for ioFTPD


For the more artistic and creative community members, ioFTPD could use a new logo and motto (http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000/wiki/ContribGuide/Art). Something to replace the current (and dated) one:
