RS2/Contribute

From RockServ

Commitment Requirements

• This project isn't a magic plug-and-play thing; a group of us will need to work to troubleshoot and fix parts of the code that are incompatible with non-Dillfrog systems.
• This project is a give-and-take thing. If/when Plat is the only person committed to the project (in terms of fixing code, answering questions, troubleshooting, etc), he's stopping.

Where to Contribute?

• The project is on SourceForge.net at http://sourceforge.net/projects/rockserv/
• The live IRC chat is at:
  • Host: irc.freenode.net
  • Room: #RockServ
• The initial forum discussion is at http://www.dillfrog.com/forums/view_node.asp?node_id=4369 (though future discussion will probably be part of the SourceForge project)

Sanity Requirements

• Knowledge of perl
  • The code was largely written when Plat was on high school vacation, so you'll see some really ugly pieces of code.
  • The code was originally written to be modular, but later became tied closer to the dillfrog.com system
  • Nobody has run this code on their own server yet (not counting when Plat moved it from the zilla.net server to his own dillfrog.com server)
  • If there's a bug, you'll be fixing it
  • There will be bugs.
