Official Development Forum
The Official Development Forum is the main place to talk to others about Wings.
On the ODF you can ask questions about using Wings, discuss technical aspects of 3d modeling, post bug reports, or post screen shots of your latest Wings 3D creations.
Like the name of the forum suggests, there are some development focused discussion to take part in too. Users are welcome to bring their experience to the discussion and voice their ideas about new feature or existing ones. Those interested in contributing code can also checkout the Programming section of the forum.
The former Yuku forum is now considered an archive.
