SIMO is built on open source technology, which means anyone can help in the development process. Coding, hunting down bugs, documentation, all help is welcome. The information below will give you an idea of how you can contribute to SIMO.
Development
One of the best ways to help SIMO is to write code. Our developer information contains everything you need to get started with familiarising yourself with how SIMO is put together. There is also a roadmap detailing what features are being planned for the future versions.
Improving Quality
Reporting bugs is a good example of how to contribute to the SIMO Project.
Documenting SIMO
The core idea of SIMO is its adaptability. To take advantage of that, it would certainly help to have the XML definitions and documentation available in a familiar language. You can contribute by localizing SIMO to your own language. See the contact page for details for getting in touch.
Adapting SIMO
As its origins are in the Department of Forest Resource Management at the University of Helsinki, the simulators defined so far are localised to Finland and specific to forest management planning.
Feel free to adapt SIMO to your own country or application domain.
SIMO Wiki
Most of the links on this page go to the SIMO Wiki. The wiki is used for information that’s changed frequently. Feel free to contribute to discussions and ideas on the wiki.
