The following are ways you can contribute to OpenSHA:
- Evaluate pre-release versions of applications.
- Help with the Java code development. Don't be intimidated here - Java is very simple, easy, and fun to learn. In fact, the best way to learn Java is by getting involved in a project such as this. We'll tell you how to get started.
- Help design the various SHA object classes (this does not require knowledge of Java or any other programming language). An example here would be developing a scheme for handling the triangular-surface representations of faults in the OpenSHA framework (currently faults are represented as an evenly discretized surface).
- If you want to join the OpenSHA Java code development, here is the document which can help you get access to source code.
Access OpenSHA from CVS.
