Community portal

Welcome to the community portal. This is the place to find out what is happening in the RepRap project. Get in contact with fellow RepRappers, learn what tasks need to be done and share news about recent events or current activities taking place in the RepRap universe.

Internet relay chat channel

The internet relay chat (IRC) channel #RepRap on freenodes is a fairly active community gathering point for many RepRappers. If you need specific help or want to get involved the IRC channel is a good place to do so.

If you are unfamiliar with IRC you can use http://java.freenode.net/ to join the channel although most people prefer to use their own IRC client.

Community forum

The RepRap community forum has allot of information of current RepRap community events. It is a good place to get in touch and collaborate with RepRappers across the world. There is a certain amount of redundancy in the forum and IRC but it seems to work out.

Helping out

Development

The RepRap project is community driven so helping out can be as simple as making a new extension and blogging about it or posting it in the Development Catalog.

Documentation

Lets face it, the documentation is sloppy and you've probably got some ideas on how to fix that. Go for it! This mediawiki is open to edit, if you run into troubles or aren't sure how to edit the pages you see here check out the help page (although that page is also a bit of a mess.. seems a bit of a cyclic problem).

You can find more info on the RepRap documentation and the tasks that need be done at the RepRapWiki:Wiki Administration portal.

There is also potentially some interest in doing some RepRap Collaborative Publications however it might be best to ask around on IRC or the forums to see if anyone is currently interested.
