We are looking for someone to help develop and maintain the RepRap control software. This is an essential part of the project that needs to be be easy and intuitive to use for it to ever gain mainstream adoption. Fortunately, its probably the easiest and least groundbreaking part of the system... and yet still exciting!The software is the main method of interacting with and controlling the RepRap machine. Unfortunately it is hard to install, needs some UI work, could use some more intelligence with auto-detection/configuration, and has some bugs. The software can also be run in a stand-alone mode without a RepRap machine attached. That means you can get involved in a meaningful way even if you have no interest or capabilities to build the machine. One could do development work without ever having a RepRap machine at all.There are a variety of tasks that range from simple to hard. Even small improvements to our code would be awesome. As an added bonus, if you agree to take on this challenge, the project is willing to provide free development boards to you. If you are interested, please email hoeken@rrrf.org directly, or visit our support forums To get started now, check out the RepRap Java development instructions.
