This is a talk page in blog format. Enter your questions, wishes, or anything else as separate sections at the bottom (click the + tab above). Start your response with : on a new line to offset, and sign your contribution by ~~~~. Please reply to entries here not on the author's talk page so that the discussion stays in one piece; you may want to put a short message on the author's talk page by placing the code {{message|Talk:Name of the talk page you want to bring to their attention}} ~~~~ there. Please see Help:Talk for more on talk pages.

Purpose

The goal of this category is to record info on all fire modeling and related software we deal with.

Format of software pages

Each page should have at least the following components:

  • The line {{software}} at the top to generate the header.
  • Lead briefly stating the purpose and history of the software
  • Distribution section, with the download info or contact point
  • File format section, important for connecting to other software
  • Documentation section with links if available
  • Support section if available
  • Publications section with download links to fulltext whenever possible
  • Contributors section if they are not listed in the lead
  • The line [[Category:Software]] at the bottom to include the page automatically in the List of software.

You can copy a empty page with all these components (and few more) from the Template for creating software pages. Jmandel 19:18, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
