Mailinglist

We did two mailinglists for Lucide, one for users and one for developers. If you want to join them please read the instructions in our Wiki. You can also access them online:

Bugs & Features

Lucide is not yet a finished product, some features are missing and some are not fully tested yet. If you encounter any bugs you are welcome to register it as a new ticket. Please make sure you check the list of open tickets first to see if the bug was already registered once. Also try to assign it to the correct component, it is quite easy to do with TRAC.
We review the tickets regulary and leave comments if we need more info. So please revisit the Feedback analysis as often as possible. If we leave comment and don't get feedback from the ticket creator, we will close the ticket after some weeks.

Anonymous access to the ticket system has been restricted due to multiple attacks of stupid spammers we've been suffering from lately. In order to create a new ticket or comment the existing one, you need to login with your Netlabs login id. If you do not have a login id, you can request one at http://www.netlabs.org/en/site/member/member.xml. We are sorry for inconvenience, but at the present time this is the only way to avoid extremely annoying spam.

Developers

Lucide is now complete open source software, so feel free to take a look at it or even contribute.

Plugin API

The plugin API is using SOM, this allows programmers to write their own plugin without the need of recompiling it every time a new Lucide release is done. It's up to the developer to decide if the plugin he/she writes will be open source or not, Lucide will work with both type of plugins.

Please read How to write your own plugins for Lucide.

Plugin Sourcecode

You can download the sourcecode of all our plugins direct from the svn. If you have any problems please post to the developer list.

  • the svn trunk contains all external libraries (poppler, libdjvu, libjpg) and the source for all Lucide plugins.
