How To Request Features
|
||
=======================
|
||
|
||
All software needs user feedback and feature requests, to grow and maintain
|
||
alignment with the needs of its users.
|
||
|
||
OpenDroneMap is FOSS software. Free and open source (FOSS) projects are interesting
|
||
from the inside and outside: from the outside, successful ones feel like they should be able
|
||
to do anything, and it’s hard to know what a reasonable request is. From the inside of a
|
||
project, they can feel very resource constrained: largely by time, money, and opportunity
|
||
overload.
|
||
|
||
A feature request can be submitted as issues on the applicable Github repository (e.g.,
|
||
`WebODM <https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/WebODM/issues>`_ or `ODM <https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM/issues>`_
|
||
or similar) or more simply as a discussion topic on `the community forum <https://community.opendronemap.org/>`_.
|
||
Try to start by searching these sources to see if someone else has already brought it up. Sometimes a feature is already in
|
||
the works, or has at least been discussed.
|
||
|
||
And importantly, the trick is to listen: if someone within the project says: "This is a big lift,
|
||
we need MONEY or TIME or SOMEONE TO HELP CODE IT" (or possibly a combination of the three)
|
||
then there are two answers that work really well in response:
|
||
|
||
*Ok. I didn’t know it was a big feature request! I hope someone comes along with the necessary resources. As a community member, I would be happy to be an early user and tester!*
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
*Let’s figure out if we can put together the resources to get this done! Here’s what I can contribute toward it: …*
|
||
|
||
We are glad you are excited to see new features added to the project. Some new features need support,
|
||
and some are easier to implement. We'll do our best to help you understand where your request falls, and
|
||
we appreciate any support you can provide.
