This is the best place for user-contributed articles, HOWTOs, hints or images. You are encouraged to contribute.

GitHub has an issue tracker, but so far the main "issue tracker" is the TODO file + mailing lists for communication.

use cases

Here is a place where you can describe (in simple words) problems you are solving with fityk. It will be useful not only for other users, but also for developers.

• the simplest case - a single peak
• plotting x-y data with large number of points (molecular dynamics statistics)
• fitting the Read-Shockley equation to grain boundary energies
• XRD, nanopowders and the shape of peaks
• Southern Oscillation - fitting trigonometrical functions
• nonlinear regression results certified by NIST
• IT capacity planning

scripts

• Upgrading scripts to fityk 0.9.5

algorithms

• inequality constraints (how to make a parameter always stay positive?)

misc

• Fityk architecture - big picture
• the list of publications that mention using fityk

for developers

• fityk-dev mailing list
• commits can be followed on Twitter
• libfityk: the official API is documented in fityk.h. Python, Lua, Perl, Ruby, Java and other bindings use the same functions.
• How to add a built-in function

not only for fityk users

• why the format of the fityk manual was changed from DocBook to ReST
• how to move mailing lists from SourceForge to Google Groups
