ImageMagick - How You Can Help
Powered by NetworkEleven ImageMagick logo

A number of individuals volunteer their time to develop and maintain ImageMagick. However, we can't do it alone. We are looking for volunteers to help make ImageMagick even better. Here is a list of things you can do to contribute to this effort:

  • Donate money. To donate to ImageMagick Studio LLC, simply mail a check to:

        ImageMagick Studio LLC
        P.O. Box 40
        Landenberg, PA 19350
        USA
    
    ImageMagick Studio LLC is a non-profit organization, however it is not tax-exempt. The cost of filing and maintaining tax-exempt status exceeds our limited resources.
  • Send a PDA to the above address so we can port ImageMagick to it.

  • Write a book about ImageMagick and how to utilize it's utilities and API.

  • Write a graphical user interface to configure the delegates.mgk file.

  • Write a program that calls the ReadImage() routine and displays the image in a native window on the Macintosh.

  • Write a special effect routine such as page curl or image mosaic.

  • Improve the ImageMagick documentation. The source distribution includes a sparse Latex source in the ImageMagick/guide directory that yearns for improvement.

  • Support building and distributing ImageMagick RPMs for Linux.

  • Create a language interface using SWIG to support scripting in Perl, Python, TCL/TK, Guile, MzScheme, Ruby, Java, PHP, and CHICKEN, based on a common implementation.

  • Create a new utility command parser based on a separate LALR or XML-based syntax definition, and using an approach suitable to replace the existing error-prone command parsers in magick/command.c

  • Create a portable Windows EMF encoder from scratch, or based on libEMF .

  • Create a portable Windows WMF encoder.

  • Create an OpenEXR coder based on the OpenEXR library from Industrial Light & Magic.

  • Create a pstoedit module to import Postscript, EPS, and PDF files as vector data using pstoedit which already includes a high-quality driver to render Postscript vectors via ImageMagick. This module could also export vector data in many formats using pstoedit's output drivers.

  • Create a vector Postscript/EPS encoder.

  • Create a vector PDF encoder.

  • Create an excellent SVG encoder.

  • Create a standard WebCGM encoder.

  • Create a Macromedia Flash (SWF) coder.

  • Create a coder to support the CALS raster file format.

  • Support reading/rendering HP printer PCL formats.

  • Add integrated Adobe XMP profile support for TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, EPS, and Postscript.

  • Add a GeoTIFF extension to ImageMagick.

  • Port Erik Reinhard's Parameter Estimation For Photographic Tone Reproduction algorithm to ImageMagick.

  • Write a Tcl/Tk scripting interface to ImageMagick.

  • Finish writing the IMDisplay Windows GUI program.

  • Write a shim-layer to allow The GIMP to be executed as a loadable process module providing ImageMagick users with access to GIMP features.

  • Port your existing GIMP module to ImageMagick as a loadable process module.

  • Create an interface between ImageMagick and OpenOffice.org. so that OpenOffice may load and save any format supported by ImageMagick. OpenOffice.org offers a separate SDK so there may be a number of other opportunities to explore.

  • Resolve the remaining porting bugs in the FlashPIX library.

  • Complete the port of ralcgm to Windows so that it may be used as a delegate under Windows.
