====== Coding ======

Although WDB is originally developed and hosted by met.no ([[http://www.met.no]]), it's a true open-source project under GPL2 license. If you would like to contribute, contact us using the mail address listed in the sidebar.

We are currently working on setting up a public mailing list that will be utilized for future development discussions.

There are many ways to join the project, either by writing code, or by testing and/or helping to manage the [[https://wdb.bugs.met.no/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=WDB&component=BuildSys& component=Cleaner&component=Data+Model&component=GRIB+Loader&component=Utility&component=WCI&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=& bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailassigned_to1=1& emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=& votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=|WDB Issue List]].

  * Look at the issue list and create a patch for the problem. To submit code, simply send your patch to the [[wdb@met.no|WDB Dev Group]]
  * Look at the issue list and create a test for the issue that recreates the reported problem. Having a test makes it much easier to find the source of the problem, and verify that it has been fixed
  * Set up an automated build and test suite for WDB on your hardware platform
