Technical Support Overview

Technical and user-to-user support for PCGen are made possible with tools provided by SourceForge and Yahoo. Actual items that are being tracked for development such as bugs and feature requests are handled by Trackers on the PCGen SF page. You can get support in the following ways:

  1. For almost every issue that needs attention you can go to one of the approriate PCGen groups email lists. It is important to send your question to the appropriate mailing list. For example, an issue pertaining to a list file design problem should be directed to the PCGenListFileHelp list, not the PCGenView list.
  2. Alternatively you can record your issue in the Support Tracker.
