@ajroach42 How's your C++, technical writing, and general electronics knowledge?

Does ngscopeclient.org/ seem like something you'd be a good fit for? I have a long list of wishlist items I'm too busy to work on and will gladly throw some budget at someone willing to spend time on it.

@ajroach42 In particular, there are literally hundreds of pages of documentation that needs to be written for various processing blocks.

@azonenberg My C++ is basically non-existent. I've dipped my toe, mostly for embedded work, but at the very beginning of my career.

I'm sure it's something I could get back up to speed on, but I'm probably not the right person for a heavy c++ project.

General electronics is fair to good, and I've worked as a technical writer in the past, but it's a few steps out of my core.

Happy to discuss the project further, or to shop it to some other folks who I think might be more well suited.

@azonenberg I'll follow up on the link later today.

@ajroach42 What I'm looking for is:

* Someone willing to work at a discounted rate for open source work (I'd be paying out of pocket and can't afford to pay commercial rates, and the pool of people willing to do it for nothing is small)

* Someone who understands general electronics concepts

* Someone who can read C++ code that implements various protocol decodes and DSP operations well enough to write documentation about how to use it

If this isn't you, but you can hook me up with someone who is, I'm all ears.

@ajroach42 Basically, for each of ~100 processing blocks (or as many as we have time/budget for):

* Get a screenshot of it in use in the waveform viewer

* Get a screenshot of it in use in the filter graph editor

* Document all of the inputs and outputs

* Write a paragraph or two about what it does at a high level

@ajroach42 Check out the "filters" section in here ngscopeclient.org/downloads/ng

The first dozen or so alphabetically are fairly well developed and are a good benchmark for what the rest should look like.

Note the remaining 100+ are a sentence or two, if that. This needs to change before a full release.

@azonenberg I suspect I have the perfect candidate for you. I'll will forward him this thread, and follow up if he is interested.
