Help FreeCAD/zh-cn

如果你喜欢FreeCAD，也想帮助它的开发，即使你不是程序员，你也能做很多事情. 实际上，不管你是普通使用者，高级发烧友，还是软件开发者，这里都有你可以做的事情.

处理文档
帮助我们撰写、更正和丰满这个文档. 比如说，改正错误；遇到不清楚的页面，帮我们扩展内容或修改表达方式；给缺失的主题创建新页面，等等. 为FreeCAD的文档做贡献很简单，在WikiPages页面，你能找到FreeCADwiki的约束条件，还有帮你起步的内容. 要编辑wiki，你可以在论坛索要一个账号， 或者通过irc 频道. 不过IRC频道里的反应不一定像论坛里那么快.

这些领域欢迎你来工作：
 * 范畴：命令参考页面列出了关于FreeCAD所有命令的相关文档. 他们大多数只含有很少的信息，或者根本还是空白. 请您参考WikiPages，那里有一些例子，说明什么样子是比较好的命令文档页面.
 * 教程部分也很不够. 如果你用FreeCAD做出了挺酷的东西，为什么不为后人记录下来你的做法呢？
 * 在FreeCAD的抓虫者系统， 有一些开口机票，打有“文档”标签，它们在等待有爱的你. （Open tickets，原意是可以不确定时间和地点的返程机票，这里指遗留下来有待填补的工作. -译者注）

分享你FreeCAD的知识
虽然FreeCAD的使用者社群还比较小，但是那里已经有好几位高级用户，他们向新人展示如何使用这个软件，这可是很重要的活儿. 如果你开始感觉熟悉了FreeCAD，用着挺舒服，那么你的知识对别人就可能非常有价值. 比如说，你可以在以下几个方面作出贡献：
 * 在用户展示论坛秀出你的作品. 你可以贴出截屏，最好能附上你的FreeCAD文件，这样别人就能检验它，来理解你是怎么做的.
 * 录制视频，演示你怎样使用FreeCAD，怎样做出了有趣的东西. 这些视频通常在展示新功能方面功不可没.
 * 撰写教程，描述或教授你觉得有意思的东西. 你可以在你自己的博客里写教程，然后把它指向我们的wiki，或者直接写在论坛里.
 * 在我们的FreeCAD Google Plus或Facebook社区发帖.

翻译FreeCAD
把FreeCAD翻译为你自己的语言. FreeCAD界面上所有的文字都可以方便地翻译为其他语言. 我们需要的只是懂那门语言、并原意提供帮助的那个人. 所有的翻译工作都通过crowdin在线完成.

关于翻译的详情，请参考本地化中的FreeCAD维基翻译过程.

翻译文档
翻译过程简单方便，FreeCADwiki有一个翻译插件，支持各页面之间的翻译和链接.

Help others to know FreeCAD

 * Talk about FreeCAD to other people who might be interested
 * Find interesting uses for FreeCAD, and document it, for example with screenshots. FreeCAD is very young, and not many people see what they can do with it. If you are a FreeCAD fan already, you surely know some cool thing FreeCAD can do. Help us to show that to others!
 * Hang on the forum, and help newcomers to solve basic questions
 * Write tutorials, record videos, etc... showing what you do with FreeCAD
 * Contribute with files, drawings, etc... We still lack good example files of what can be done with FreeCAD
 * Help to promote FreeCAD on GitHub by 'Starring' and 'Watching' the FreeCAD repository github

Report bugs and ask for interesting features
Although the place to report confirmed bugs and suggest new features is eventually the FreeCAD Tracker, please always post bug reports and feature requests to the Help forum first. In order to save developers time (triaging and handling hard to understand bugs can be very time consuming), and avoid frustrations because your issue was not handled the way you would like, please read the following:
 * Bugs and features requests are handled in the same tracker. Just mark your issue as "bug" (something that doesn't work as it should) or "feature" (something that is not there but you think it would be good to have)
 * Although originally you could submit issues anonymously, unfortunately this had to be cancelled due to spam. Now if you would like to create/edit tickets you will have to create an account. You will then by default be notified when someone adds notes to the issue. In many cases, the person who will handle the bug will need more information from you.
 * When reporting a bug, the most important point is to allow developers to reproduce it. Be sure to include the exact steps needed to make the bug happen, so another person can do the same and see the bug happen on his machine too. If the developer cannot see the bug, he cannot solve it either.
 * Also include information that can help developers to situate the problem, like the operating system you are running FreeCAD on, the exact version of FreeCAD and the relevant libraries. Please post all the data by using the "copy to clip board" button in the Help (menu) -> about FreeCAD dialogue, and do this from the Part or PartDesign workbench.
 * No matter how sure you are that you have found a bug, please always discuss bugs first in the Help forum.
 * Before submitting a feature request, always discuss it with other users first on the Open discussion forum, so you might end up with a more solid proposal, with more chances to interest a developer to implement it.
 * Remember that FreeCAD is developed by volunteers who use their free time to work on it. Although everyone tries his best to make the best possible application, your bug report might be treated with low priority, or cancelled if you cannot give sufficient information, and your feature request might be postponed or even refused if no developer has interest in implement it or if that would request unrealistic amount of work.

Program!
Writing code for FreeCAD is not hard, and you don't need any permission, you can start right now to work on something you want, then submit a patch on the tracker or request a merge from a git branch. But to avoid some headache you should meet the following prerequisites first:
 * FreeCAD goes at its own pace, and has a very small team of developers. We have not as much time as we would like to dedicate to FreeCAD, and things are not planned ahead, they are done when some developer sees it fit and when he finds time to do it. So we don't maintain a list of tasks to be done. It is up to you to find something you would like to do, for example a defect you would like to correct, or a small feature you think is missing. The tracker also contains some items that are not yet assigned to anybody.
 * Before you start to code for FreeCAD, you must know well how FreeCAD works. This seems obvious, but if you don't know how it is supposed to work you won't know what to do internally or how to do it.
 * Almost everything can be done either in python or C++. The internals work almost the same in both languages. We suggest you read through the Power users hub pages, even if you're going to code in C++, since it will give you a good overview of the internals.
 * If you are going to work in C++, make sure you can compile FreeCAD without problems first.
 * Present yourself to other developers. FreeCAD is before anything a social project, we discuss a lot of things on the forum before implementing it, and it's always best to discuss your ideas and tell people what you are planning to do before actually doing it. We also have an IRC channel, but the forum is the one and only place where you can meet all the developers.
 * Since 2016, FreeCAD is also participating to the Google Summer of Code. Be sure to check our ideas there if you are interested in participating in a next edition.
