What's the most appropriate place to discuss changes to Linuxcnc source code? was created by Peto
Well, I am working on spindle temperature compensation and I would like to discuss some details regarding changes in source code.
I want the compensation mechanism to be fully transparent to User, so that no coordinates presented to user would change. This indeed requires modification of LinuxCNC code base. I am fully capable to do these changes, but instead of reinventing the wheel by studying the whole source code, I would rather like to get advice from someone who is aware of the whole picture.
Is this forum able to help? Or should I ask for help on Github?
Thank you!
Peter

There are several ways of contacting developers as listed here
linuxcnc.org/community/
Many of then are often on IRC.
Thank you.

Actually, that is not such an easy question to answer.
1. Traditionally it would be the developers mailing list:
sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/emc-developers/
(Although it seems the number of people actively participating in discussions has dwindled drastically in the last couple of years.)
2. If you already have a proposed change then a pull request on github is the best way to get noticed.
3. Posting questions on the forum will certainly give you exposure to a sizable number of readers but how many of those would be aware of the whole picture I cannot say. Still worth a try though.
[edit]
Seems to me that this could maybe be handled in a custom kinematic component.
