Welcome to the FreeGuide developers' site. Use the navigation links at the top to find what you need.
I (Andy Balaam) am open to contributions from anyone and I expect to accept most patches I receive, except ones that differ radically from my stated aim of creating a nice, simple TV guide.
If you're wondering what to contribute, the future plans of the developers are stored in the TODO file. The latest version of this from CVS is here.
FreeGuide itself is written entirely in Java (1.4 required), but it uses the XMLTV tools (XMLTV is a separate project) which are written in Perl.
The releases are built using Apache's superb Ant build tool. In fact, I use the AntFarm plugin in JEdit, but this isn't necessary.
All the code is formatted using Jalopy before being committed to CVS to ensure consistency of style.
Email any questions to freeguide-tv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net and we'll do our best to answer them, and put useful answers up on this page.
