You can contribute in a number of Really Useful ways. I'll even credit Major Contributors. For now I believe contributions can filter through the discussion page (linked to the left).
- Provide friendly feedback
- Bugs
- Describe the bug
- Provide either a Mason file or a TinyCAD file that shows the bug
- Understand that the file may be folded into the validation cases
- Feature requests- what does the community want?
- Help create libraries
- This does not involve code- only creating new XML Dynamic Files or TinyCAD components
- If you become a member of the forum, you can attach files to postings
- Create TinyCAD GUI models for Touchstone-based manufacturer's libraries
- More aggregated models available translates to more design choices possible
- Be sensitive to NDAs and copyrights (where you see them)
- Create new, documented Primitive models
- Include a history tag with the source- I want to be able to verify all models preferably through an IEEE source
- Books are notoriously prone to have errors in their equations
- Please verify all equations from the first source
- Peer reviewing really does work (IEEE papers are peer reviewed, text books often not so much)
- I encourage you to include your name in the history tag
- Where appropriate, please include the PCB tag
- Help with documentation
- The Wiki could use more illustrations, better presentation of theory, and practical advice
- It is really hard to document one's own code- it all makes perfect sense to me
- Monetary donations
- The online documentation is the most current, and I get AdSense dollars from your visits
- I can be hired to make specific improvements/ develop particular features
