Thanks everyone! I am now official in a couple of places . nick in IRC is
rsteiner, same in cnczone, linuxcnc forum, and the wiki. I have a different ID
in github, steinra2002. I don't mind my intro being hijacked as it shows some
of the active work areas.
I am an old C hand and I am interested in the motion and cnc language cores as
well as the interfaces. I can program in python, but not anywhere close to an
expert. My day job I am a systems architect, so you may see me asking many
leading questions.
I actually have two linuxcnc machines now, a shopmaster eldorado, and just
upgraded my blackfoot 4x8 cnc router to linuxcnc. I also have a fagor CNC
controller on my Ganesh GMV-3, and there are some features there I would like
to see in linuxcnc. But the control panel is what really got me digging into
the next levels of linuxcnc. I also have a Shizuka ANS with a 24 position tool
changer I want to run in linuxcnc, so will likely be tearing into classic
ladder as well.
Another item which lead me here was I always use the ISO images and recently
found out how dated the current version is.
From the thread here I see several things that are active, and some areas which
could use help.
I would be happy to tear into the wiki and maybe update the development pages a
bit to current members and what they are working on
help Andy with the ISO build process
work on the paraport latency issue which I am just learning about but saw
mentioned (RTAI, preempt-rt, etc)
work on the document build process
build test cases for core components to help verify changes which are merged in
maintain any lists of current changes, completed changes, requested changes,
issues
Really anything which folks feel would be the most beneficial.
Thanks!
Randy

Sorry Randy we sortta stole your introduction.
Looks like you have all ready helped by starting a discussion of the way
forward - thanks.
Usually a new guy has an interest in part of the software and works on it - I
started by updating to a new version of classicladder because I was interested
in trying c programming.
Is there something you are interested in?
Do you have a machine or are interested in building one?
Documentation is always on going and appreciated - it's one of our biggest
strengths IMHO.
Welcome to the project!
