.. _contributing: Contributing to Orthanc ======================= If you find Orthanc useful and wish to contribute to its development, here are some tasks you can take in charge that would greatly help us: * **Non-coding tasks**: - Use Orthanc in the real life. ;) - Advertise about Orthanc, notably on social networks (we are active on `Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/orthancdicom/>`__ and `Twitter <https://twitter.com/OrthancServer>`__). - Answer our `survey <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=blog#survey>`_. - Improve and translate the `Wikipedia pages <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthanc_(software)>`_ about Orthanc. - Answer questions posted to the `mailing list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_. - Provide documentation and use cases (inside the dedicated `GitHub repository <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed>`_, via pull requests). - Index external contributions inside the `Links.md <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed/blob/master/Links.md>`_ file. * **Maintenance tasks**: - Report problems together with sample DICOM images and possible workarounds on the `issue tracker <https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/issues?status=new&status=open>`_. - Package Orthanc and its associated plugins for more UNIX or GNU/Linux distributions (e.g. RHEL, CentOS, openSUSE...). - Share your maintenance scripts or sample code inside the "`Orthanc Contributed <https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed>`_" public GitHub repository, via pull requests. - Improve the text of the `Orthanc Book <https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc-book/src/default/Sphinx/source/>`_. - The Orthanc project will also happily accept **external patches** in the core of Orthanc and in its associated official plugins. Such patches can either be sent to the `mailing list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_ or via a `pull request <https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/pull-requests/>`_. * **Coding tasks**: - Interface Orthanc with other software (e.g. 3D Slicer, Matlab/Octave, Python, Horos, dicompyler...). Check the `already supported frameworks <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=resources>`_. - Develop :ref:`C/C++ plugins extending the Orthanc core <plugins>`. Here are some ideas of possible plugins: + Create a :ref:`more advanced Web interface <improving-interface>` than the built-in Orthanc Explorer. + Extend the :ref:`sample modality worklist plugin <worklist>` so that it manages the worklists (i.e. add/remove items) with a REST API or HL7 messages, instead of reading them from some folder on the filesystem. + Have a look at the TODO file containing our `official roadmap <https://bitbucket.org/sjodogne/orthanc/src/default/TODO>`__. - Always remember that he **recommended way of contributing to the source code of Orthanc is by creating C/C++ plugins**. If the current plugin SDK is insufficient for you to develop some feature as a plugin, do not hesitate to request an extension to the Orthanc SDK on the `mailing list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`_. * **Financial support**: - Participate in our `crowdfunding campaigns <http://www.orthanc-server.com/static.php?page=contribute>`__. - Buy commercial services: + Osimis provides `support packages <http://www.orthanc-server.com/orthanc-pro.php>`__ dedicated to Orthanc. + Currently, Osimis is the only company ensuring such corporate services according to an open-source business model, but others might show up in the future. `Please warn us <mailto:s.jodogne@gmail.com>`__ if your know about another such company!
