:* What 3d engine are you using? What version?
 
−
:* How are you using voxels in Minetest? Do you render polygons or voxels?
 
−
:* What rendering techniques should a new developper read about? Maybe from GPU gems / wikipedia or similar materials?
 
−
:* How many voxels do you have in a block? (ie: what is the resolution)
 
−
:* How do you manage frustum, culling, drawing back faces, deciding what to draw, etc?
 
−
:* Is there a classes diagram somewhere so I could understand the role, responsibilities and interactions for each classes and between them? Do you have use cases?
 
−
:* How do you manage dependencies between mods?

Project Goals:
 
−
:* I understand that keeping minetest usable by older computers is a project goal. What are the other goals?
 
−
:* Is there a semi-official fork with more advanced features or the forks are individual efforts?
 
−
:* As it is the game is very similar to minecraft. Is this project a clone of minecraft? If not, how do you intend to make minetest unique?

How to Contribute:

:* Is there some particularities with the code that a newcomer need to understand before contributing?
 
−
:* Is there some parts of the code that need to be recoded or refactorized?
 
−
:* What parts of the code could be optimized?
 
−
:* What is the difference between the minetest package and the minetest_game package?

Existing discussions
 
−
:* Can you provide a list of existing discussions about those features so a newcomer could see what has been discussed before:
 
−
:** Shaders
 
−
:** Physics
 
−
:** Typical 3d models
 
−
:** Can you explain the license more so I can judge wheter library X/texture Y/model Z would be usable in Minetest? (ex: why can't irrklang be used instead of those 3 sound libraries)
