Real-time discussions with developers occur regularly on Internet Relay Chat (IRC).

Issue Tracker

If you come across a problem while using uDig, please use the following steps:

  1. Search the open issues and see if someone has already reported your issue. Add a comment to the issue saying you found it also.
  2. If there is no existing issue, add a new issue. Be sure to note the version you are using and enough detail that the developers can re-produce it.
  3. If your issue is critical, raise it on the [udig-dev] mailing list, it might be very easy to fix.
  4. If your issue is critical and hard, consider hiring a consultant to fix it for you as a priority item.
