-Before giving access to the EiffelStudio repository, we need to access the quality of your work. To do so, we ask you to participate in the projects/areas of your choice by submitting patches to the forums for a peer review. If after several contributions your code and work is satisfactory to the other developers, we will grant you access to the EiffelStudio subversion repository where you can be integrated with your fellow EiffelStudio developers.
