Re: freecad next step
Some other notes, many big libraries have simply a "most update" documentation where there are plenty of phrases like "introduced in X.xx" and similar thing.
And many of them are supported by "big companies" with "some money".
FreeCAD documentation is notably changing, and became better due to many efforts by "a bunch of people" dedicated to this task, in a volunteer way.
Many thanks to all, and there is a way to help FreeCAD, stop criticize an start:
- "wiriting some documentation"
- signal bug
- discuss "constructively" with developer, even asking or reporting "was is not clear" or simply "I don't understand this thing, for this reason....", if the question is well documented and not simply a critic it will be helpful.
Regards.

Re: freecad next step
You know, if you have features you really desire, coordinating some kind of crowd-funded bounty system to reward the individual(s) who come and implement such features might be an easier way to steer some development effort better than trying to lobby for industry investment. Think smaller and more incremental growth.
Re: freecad next step
There IS a bounty system...funded, and that fund has remained at the same balance for a LONG time.

Re: freecad next step
Probably not publicized enough. Last I heard it was funded in the 4 digit range...

Re: freecad next step
I just found this

lets see how the logic of UI can be done by other team.
I still think Freecad is far far ahead, hopefully will keep its lead.

Re: freecad next step
I do sth simmilar, I tend to monitor devs who work on the functions I care about, and in return I support them mainly through Patreon.
Re: freecad next step
That's very good.
A bit more is to propose a function and lure programmer to code it.
Re: freecad next step
Can the programmer code the function? Into what? What do you mean?
Re: freecad next step
All source code of FreeCAD is freely available. Any developer can program something new. In C++ or in Python (or in some other formats, e.g. for icons). He can then provide his code either as an addon, or as a so called pull request, which means he asks the core developers to include it into the FreeCAD master program. If it is accepted and merged then FreeCAD provides the new function to all.
