Thanks for the credit but anybody interested in FEM is better off not relying on me - I don't know a lot about FEM (really, I don't know anything)

Re: GSoC 2019
Will you please guide me some more regarding the "Extended functionality of Rebar Addon" @amrit3701 ? I wanted to participate in Gsoc 2019 with FreeCAD as my preferred organization.amrit3701 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 2:47 pm
If any student wishes to work on rebar addon then I will be happy to mentor it. Last year I created a page "Extended functionality of Rebar Addon" (https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Extende ... ebar_Addon). In the coming days, I will also add @ebrahim idea (https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Re ... t/issues/9).
Please count me the mentor list.

Nice to see here.
Related to Rebar Addon there are two projects this year. One which you said above and second is https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues/20.
Extended functionality of Rebar Addon: This project is mainly linked with `Drawing` WB of FreeCAD. The first step to start with it is to create drawings of structure element (include reinforcement) with dimensions. Record all stuff in macro and try to understand each command. You can also create mockups of the drawing dialog that will control everything related to drawing (which rebars of structure will include in drawing, style of dimensions lines etc).
Automate reinforcement process: This project is totally linked with `Rebar Addon`. First, use the rebar addon (explore its feature) and try to reinforcement in the real structure element. Note everything like which difficulties come and how you solve it and share here. Also, try to understand the code of Rebar Addon.
Thanks,

We need a way to monitor if proposals are being migrated to the place that yorik specified to...
Alone you go faster. Together we go farther

Re: GSOC 2019 Thread (Potential student participants discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations)
I moved all the ones I'm interested in, plus Amritpal's one. Kurt added one too. If anyone would like to see other issues ported there, just open a new issue there (anyone can, I think), or tell me.
It's not 100% important of having more issues, as there is now a good balance between all projects, and it's more an entry point to attract potential students. When someone comes to talk with us here, we can redirect them more precisely where they need... I'll add this thread to the FreeCAD issues there.

Hi @Yorik,
I am interested to update the documentation system of FreeCAD. How can I get started?
Best Regards

You're thinking of doing this, right? https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues/16akashali506 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:21 pm Hi @Yorik,

Basically I think the first step is done, which is to come say hi
What you should do now:
- Get familiar with FreeCAD (that is obvious, but...). Install it, run it, try to follow one or another tutorial (there are many on youtube, there are some also on our wiki at https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Tutorials so you get a good idea of how FreeCAD works
- Get familiar with the current stat of the documentation. That is 1) The wiki at https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/, 2) the auto-generated API docs at https://www.freecadweb.org/api/ and 3) the offline doc that is bundled with FreeCAD (help menu), which is basically a compilation of most pages from the wiki. You'll need to assess what is the state of things in order to propose a good plan to improve them.
- You will most likely need to compile FreeCAD during the work, both the application and the API docs, if you plan to follow more or less what's on the github issue (you are not forced to, though. You decide). Make sure you can successfully compile both on your machine.
- Make sure you are comfortable working with Git, if you haven't done that before, then it would be good to fork the FreeCAD git repo, and submit a small pull request at some point before the official GSOC launch, so you are all set when real things start.
And of course, work on making a good proposal!
During this "community bonding" time, the important is really get to know the application and the community. Feel free to ask all that you need to know in order to build a good plan.
