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.
This section deals with junior jobs that require basic C++ skills:
Marble should remember the previous directory used for the Open ... file dialog. This feature needs to be implemented for the KDE and Qt version of Marble.
Level of difficulty: EASY
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.
Level of difficulty: EASY
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.
Level of difficulty: EASY
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.
Level of difficulty: HARD
See Bug 232098 for more information.
Level of difficulty: MEDIUM
The KDE version of Marble has a nice progress bar in the statusbar that shows the progress of tile downloading. Users of Qt Marble don't see any progress indication. Please change that: Have a look at MarblePart::setupDownloadProgressBar() in marble_part.cpp (part of the implementation in the KDE version) and integrate a similar progress bar feature in QtMainWindow.cpp, the Qt version of Marble. The feature can be tested using View => Redisplay for example, which triggers a re-download of tiles on the screen.
Level of difficulty: EASY
We have a nice OpenStreetMap theme with a nice legend, but it's not complete! Please add important OSM features to it. See Bug 162685 for more information.
