 The wiki got some nice features like the ticket system: there you can set up development requests. the roadmap shows you what the current development goals are. Anyone with a account/pass (all developers) is able to make changes to the wiki or the ticket system, just use the account from the subversion.

 == 3. Repository ==
+Orxonox is been programmed by many programmers at the same time (at the moment, we are 7 programmers). to synchronize the work and to make it available for all, we got a central subversion server (subversion is a newer form of cvs). most linux got svn (subversion) in their software repository (gentoo: portage tree, debian: apt-system) windows needs  special software, that you can get from: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ If you want to read more about this topic, you will find more infos in:

 == 9. Understanding Orxonox ==
 This will definitly take some time to understand the orxonox. The best way to get your questions answered is to post them on the development-mailinglist. Even better is just to go the the developers and ask them to give you an overview... Once you know where to find which functions, you will want to read more about special topics in the sourcefiles itself: we use doxygen to comment the code, there you will find a comment to every class/function. There is a second source of information, that we are currently working
