You might want to improve formatting, separate the body of the article into paragraphs, it's hard to follow when there's not a clear separation between ideas. BRL-CAD's wiki page uses Media Wiki, you can find their formatting markup here:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting 

Also, check the punctuation, there's one ellipsis ("...") that's missing a dot.

It would be best if you would leave a space between the punctuation marks and the characters following. So instead of "So , what is the BRL-CAD project ? BRL-CAD...", you would have "So, what is the BRL-CAD project? BRL-CAD...".

Thanks for the recommendations . I will work on it more

Alex, I'm not feeling it... there are various formatting concerns but those are irrelevant without first considering the content itself.

Take the very first paragraph, for example.  You start out by saying there are many ways to get involved and that it's not always clear how to get involved.  However, nowhere do you actually tell them how to get involved.  The closest you get is mentioning that there are a wide range of activities.

Please read the first three examples to see how this information looks for Gnome, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD.  We need a page that captures the same simplicity and clarity as those examples.

There are less than 24 hours left until the deadline, please submit your work soon.

Melange has detected that the final deadline has passed and it has reopened the task.

Hi bhargav,

I appreciate that you referred different sources to write down your article. Since this article is just an introduction to new comers so we don't need to put details and it should not be too lengthy; shorter is better. I already touched different aspects so all you need to do is to just write in your own words in an interesting way rather than copy pasting the details.

You have made a good progress and the little refinements will further refine the article.

Good luck!

Thanks harmanpreet for your suggestions 

I will work according to your suggestions and will upload my task in few hours

Bhargav, this is looking good and you have some of the expected content, but the biggest issue I see is that there is way too much irrelevant information.  Per your 1, 2, and 3 scoping questions, I think only #3 is relevant (how to contribute) as that is exactly the scope of this task.  It's assumed that by the time someone will get to this page that they will know what BRL-CAD is and some of what it can do.

Looking at just section #3, the following feedback comes to mind as other aspects to work on addressing:

1. you begin by mentioning developer, documenter graphic artists, academics, and uncategorized contributors as being potentially interested.  however, you then only itemize Developers and "Documentors" (this is spelled wrong) as "ways" to contribute.


2. the rest get categorized very generically in the "other ways" section without any information on how to contribute each of those types of contributions.


3. it's not clear to me why you singled out developers and documenters but not the rest other than perhaps copying information from our book.


4. copy editing!  there are many many typographical, spelling, and punctuation errors in your document.  please run it through a grammar and spell checker, and proof-read your writeup.  there's no way we could use this with so many errors in it.


5. ":-" is redundant.  it should be "title:" or "section - " but not "title:-".


6. the "Suggestion to new contributers" is a generic title and mispelled and does not fit the outline of the rest of the content.  the section clearly has something to do with communication methods,.


7. are your final suggestions section intended to be links to other information?  they should either be links or actually point them to where those resources are located

There are less than 24 hours left until the deadline, please submit your work soon.

Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.

Thanks bhargav, it looks like you addressed most of the feedback points very well.  It was a little confusing near the end of the document where you go from talking about polyglot contributions to immediately talking about GSoC and other programs, but that is easily fixed with a section header.  Hopefully we can put this to use to help attract new contributors.  Thank you for your efforts.
