Is there anything we can do as a community to make HP Prime better? Perhaps we can develop some data, files, such as refining on-calc help or other things that would somehow improve the work on the new firmware version? Personally, I’d be willing to work on fixing known bugs, or even analyze the code and perform low-level optimization (I think there’s a lot that can be improved in PPL and the user interface), but I understand that there’s no chance of access to things like source code (C++) at least until working indirectly or directly for HP. With the fantastic hardware that HP Prime has, we could work wonders....
Let us know if there’s anything we can do.

Piotr,

Thanks for this question.

If anyone reading this wants to contribute with a substantial amount of translation work, I’d recommend contacting Klaas (and including, in the message, some background information on oneself).

For very small translation hiccups (minor irritants noticed): these could be sent to me or reported on the bug tracker site I’ve created for the project. (If an account is wanted for that, those interested should contact me.) And, of course, other software bugs can be reported on the bug tracker I’ve set up.

I know that you, Piotr, are interested in benchmarking and efficiency. I do plan on setting up some more automated testing. If benchmark programs are collected / created, that could help; they could be used to monitor performance impacts of changes. ideally these would be reflective of real-world / common / typical use ["in classroom" can certainly count!]. (Even failing that, broad coverage could help guide development work.) Note that a variety of automated testing is already being done; it’s just that I’m interested in increasing the amount being done.
