Newcomer from Greece - Some general questions

[papadako]

Hello,

my name is Panagiotis Papadakos from the SPOK caving club in Crete, Greece. We are currently exploring c-survey for our surveying needs and we are interested in any resources available in English language (tutorials, videos, HOWTOs). Is it possible to point us to any such resources? We can also help translating the manual in Greek/English.

In addition we tried to load some of our surveys (even small ones) but we got some exceptions like out-of-boundaries indexing of arrays. Are you aware of those problems? Do we have to consider any workarounds while importing our data?

Btw, the project is licenced under GNU. However, I could not find a code repository. Can you provide a link? Also is there a Linux version?

Best regards from Crete
Panagiotis

Hi, happy to read you.
I try to answer your questions:
- manual: due to chronical lack of time manual are only in italian. I know that some other user are writing manual in some other language. You can try to translate in english the current manual http://csurvey.it/download/csurvey.pdf even if it is a little obsolete.
- errors: write here some details to allow me to fix it (version you are using v1 or v2, data you are using etc..)
- source code: you can find it here https://github.com/cepelabs/cSurvey, link is also on cSurvey site. cSurvey use GDI+  and Windows Form (in v2 also directx) (.Net Framework 4.8 ) so there is no linux version.
v2 source code use DevExpress component suite and I cannot share the developer key so, if you download the source code keep this in mind (you can change all from code and you can compile it without limitation).

Dear cepe,

I am sorry for the very late reply!

We want to spend some time and translate the manual in English. I think this will be a valuable info for all non-Italian cavers. Do you have the original source of the manual so that we can start working on this?

One option that I am considering is moving everything to latex so that it is easier to have an Italian and English version of the manual. Hopefully, this might motivate other people to participate and update the manual.

Panagiotis, I have plan to start to write a new manual in english this summer based on cSurvey v2...and I really need help.
So, if you agree, I can share the one I'm working on when I'm ready and you can work on it improving or making it better.

Great news! Please share with me whenever you have something that we can start collaboratively work on.
