Programmer's Guide to NeL
+ + + + + + + + +
What is NeL
+

Roughly speaking, NeL is a platform for the creation of multiplayer +entertainment on the Internet.

+ + + + + + + + +
Licensing
+

NeL is released as a Free Software project, under the GNU General Public License. +If you are not familiar with it, check the GPL text +here, or go +directly to the Free Software Foundation +site.

+

NeL uses the GNU GPL to provide as many guarantees as possible for +everyone involved. Meaning the original authors, the casual user, and +all possible contributors. The GPL makes NeL an open platform +and ensures that will stay so.

+ + + + + + + + +
What's in it for me?
+

There are many potential benefits for you. As it is free software, you +have full control over what it does for you. You are not dependent on anyone +for support or adaptation. You may port NeL to any obscure environment +that no one but you knows about. You may fix the nagging bug that affects +only your computer. You +may add the latest technology you've stumbled upon, without having to +wait for anybody to be convinced that it is an important +project. You may customize NeL to do exactly what you want.

+

The fact that everyone can read the NeL source also offers a guarantee +of quality. A source that anyone can read will have to be readable by +anyone, and a source that is easy to read is a source that is hard to bug.

+ + + + + + + + +
What's in it for Nevrax?
+

First and foremost, at Nevrax, we believe software should be Free.

+

In practice, we gain exactly the same things you do. Nevrax does not and cannot have the +level of manpower that a free software community built around a project +has; no one can. So, while Nevrax will work on its own priorities, it will +maintain the NeL reference platform to the best interest of the community.

+

As people add, enhance and debug NeL, the code will grow, in terms of +quality and functionality, faster than any single organisation could do on its own. Nevrax +is commited to integrate the best of the enhancements, ports and other +useful modifications into the reference platform.

+ + + + + + + + +
How can I participate?
+

There are many tools used to make easier the whole process. This site +is dedicated to fostering the kind of community NeL needs, and has all +levels of activity.

+

A community needs communication, and thus, the first step is to subscribe +to the NeL mailing List. Download +the source tree (preferably using CVS to stay in sync +with the current version later). Eventually, register +for bug tracking.

+

The mailing list is the place to discuss the way NeL is structured, the +way its contents are written, and what to add or modify in it. If you have +modifications to contribute, the mailing list is where you may post +your patches, and the place where they can be reviewed by the public.

+

Larger patches that would be too long to post may be sent directly to +the code@nevrax.org submission address +for internal review.

+

As in all such communities, your contributions will be judged on their +merit and the reputation you will build for youself. The best way to have a significant and +positive input is not a magic recipe. Be courteous, be pertinent, be +critical - in positive as much as negative manner - and be accurate. +The quality of your contribution will ensure your rightful place in the NeL development.

+

Oh, and by the way, we do credit all contributors, even if they have +only two lines of code in the whole source tree...
