1 Contributing to Orthanc
|
|

4 If you find Orthanc useful and wish to contribute to its development,
|
|
|
5 here are some tasks you can take in charge that would greatly help us:
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 * Use Orthanc in the real life. ;)
|
|
|
8 * Report possible problems together with sample DICOM images on the
|
|
|
9 `issue tracker
|
|
|
10 <https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/issues?status=new&status=open>`_.
|
|
|
11 * Answer questions posted to the `mailing list
|
|
|
12 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_.
|
|
|
13 * Index external contributions on the "`Orthanc Contributed
|
|
|
14 <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed>`_" GitHub
|
|
|
15 repository, via pull requests.
|
|
|
16 * Provide documentation and use cases (e.g. on `GitHub <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed>`_).
|
|
|
17 * Share maintenance scripts (e.g. on `GitHub <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed>`_).
|
|
|
18 * Advertise about Orthanc, and answer the `survey <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=blog#survey>`_.
|
|
|
19 * Package Orthanc and its associated plugins for more UNIX or
|
|
|
20 GNU/Linux distributions (e.g. RHEL, CentOS, SUSE...).
|
|
|
21 * Improve and translate the `Wikipedia page
|
|
|
22 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthanc_(software)>`_ about Orthanc.
|
|
|
23 * Interface Orthanc with other software (e.g. 3D Slicer,
|
|
|
24 Matlab/Octave, Python, Horos, dicompyler...). Check the `already
|
|
|
25 supported frameworks <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=resources>`_.
|
|
|
26 * Develop `C/C++ plugins
|
|
|
27 <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed/tree/master/Plugins>`_,
|
|
|
28 some ideas of which can be found in the `official roadmap
|
|
|
29 <https://trello.com/b/cjA9X1wM/orthanc-roadmap>`_.

32 The **recommended way of contributing to the source code of Orthanc is
|
|
|
33 by creating C/C++ plugins**. If the current plugin SDK is insufficient
|
|
|
34 for you to develop some feature as a plugin, do not hesitate to
|
|
|
35 request an extension to the Orthanc SDK on the `mailing list
|
|
|
36 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_.
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 The University Hospital of Liège will also happily accept **external
|
|
|
39 patches** in the core of Orthanc and in its associated official
|
|
|
40 plugins, provided they are put in the public domain. Such patches must
|
|
|
41 be sent to the `mailing list
|
|
|
42 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_ (*not* via a
|
|
|
43 pull request).
