− | + | ===Implement a "simple" tag for KML support (e.g. LookAt)=== | |
The <LookAt> tag in KML should be quite easy to implement -- at least compared to the other tags. Alternatively you can try to find a different tag that looks like it would be easy to implement, however you need to check in the handler or data directory whether it is implemented already. | The <LookAt> tag in KML should be quite easy to implement -- at least compared to the other tags.

If you are new to Marble then you want to check this page. We list a few things you can do which are easy tasks and introduce you to Marble development. You can possible find some Junior Jobs at KDE's Bugzilla.
Check
"Marble KDE" results of the last 24 hours
for interesting news items related to Marble. Then post these news to our Marble "Marble Facebook group". In the next step update our "Marble Website" accordingly.
We want our Marble source code to look good. The documentation should be concise and helpful and the comments shouldn't have spelling errors. Also it shouldn't have any obvious "formal" bugs. Help us to improve our code quality. This is an easy job that helps you to get familiar with the source code. It's the first thing that absolute beginners usually want to look at. We list a few important issues that need to be checked for regularly:
If you come across a problem don't hesitate to ask us (there are no stupid questions, just people who are afraid of asking for stupid reasons ;-) If you want to send in your patch for review, please send it to our mailing list marble-devel@kde.org.

In marble/src/KdeMainWindow.cpp use
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKRecentFilesAction.html
to create an open recent menu entry for the KDE version of Marble. Adding the same functionality to the Qt version of Marble is a bonus task.

Marble's plugin API lets plugins define an icon which is shown in the menu for activating plugins. Only a few plugins use icons so far however. Please locate appropriate plugin icons (chances are high the oxygen project already has some) and add them. A good start would be the Photos Online Service Plugin.

Marble is using the CIA World Factbook for displaying country information. Have a look at the python script
marble/data/ciasource/cia2kml.py
and use it to compile the latest information from the latest version of the Factbook:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
Once done you need to do some extensive testing to see whether the information got properly applied.

Marble's Photos Online Service Plugin currently displays photos downloaded from Flickr. As 23 also provides flickr API, it should be possible to display images from 23 as well.
