How Can You Help

You can help in several ways. Contributions can be as small as a bugfix or a documentation improvement, or as large as a new protocol implementation.

As a student:

  • Seek INET-related project and thesis topics
  • Report and/or fix problems you encounter in the code and the documentation
  • Participate in the forums and help others

As a researcher:

  • When you review/validate models to be used for your project (advised!), share your findings
  • Contribute your improvements and the models you write

As a professor:

  • Advertise INET-related project and thesis topics, and encourage your students to share the resulting code or findings
  • Use INET in teaching, and share the materials you use

As an open-source enthusiast:

If you think INET is cool and you are actively looking for ways to help the project, here are some tips:

  • Any item on the Contribution Ideas page
  • There are several murky corners in INET in need for a little work to be invested (refactoring, features, testing, example simulations)
  • You can help us with coordinating the community and publicity tasks
  • Investigate and comment on open issues in the bug tracker (many reports are obsolete or unreproducible)
  • Help us reduce the list of issues found by Coverity or Valgrind
