This wiki has developer-facing notes for working on the codebase.

Getting up and running

Start here: GETTING_STARTED.md in the repo — build dependencies, build, package, install, start the background services, create your account, and log in, step by step, for this fork's CMake/CPack build on Debian 13. The README has the same steps plus screenshots and an overview of what the app actually does. Both live in the repo (not the wiki) so they stay in sync with the code they describe as it changes — the wiki won't duplicate them.

As of the v8.0.0 "Phoenix" release, this is an actively maintained, modernized fork: current build system (CMake/CPack), current wxWidgets (3.2, GTK3), current C++ (17), current Python (3), targeting Debian 13. See the latest release for what changed.

Useful pages

Getting help

  • Bugs, build failures, and feature requests: the issue tracker — search first, a lot of prior investigation is already recorded there and in CLAUDE.md in the repo.
  • Contributions welcome — see the issue tracker for open items (a good few are tagged as approachable starting points), or just open a PR.

We're a small volunteer effort, so help with Perl (mainly editing existing parser scripts, no expertise required), Python, C++, or wx/GTK is always useful.
