There are many ways to contribute to EiffelStudio through projects large and small. Check the list of open projects below; if you feel none covers your special interest, see below how to add your own project.
Libraries
Eiffel is all about reuse of quality components. The best way to get started as an Eiffel contributor is to extend an existing library, or start a new one to fill a need. EiffelVision developments appear under user interface.
- Native GUI library for OSX
- Eiffel LEGO NXT Commumication Library and EiffelStudio Integration
- Multiplatform editor component: Scintilla
- Multiplatform layout engine component: Mozilla/Gecko
Language and compiler
This is the heart of the Eiffel environment: providing the best possible implementation of the Eiffel language.
- The Eiffel standard developed by the ECMA TC39-TG4 committee and approved in 2006 by the International Standards Organization is the definitive reference on the Eiffel language. Work is progressing quickly to include all ECMA-ISO mechanisms into the EiffelStudio compiler; you can help fill the remaining gaps.
General environment mechanisms
There are always new ideas to improve the user experience with EiffelStudio.
- AutoTest is an automated testing framework taking advantage of Eiffel's Design by Contract to provide far more automation than current solutions such as JUnit. Currently it is a separate tool; ideally it should be part of EiffelStudio.
User interface
Make the user interface of EiffelStudio more appealing. Much of the work is to be done in the underlying EiffelVision library, with the added benefit that improvements will be available to user applications as well.
- EiffelVision Accelerators
- Unicode support for EiffelVision
- Editor
- EiffelBuild Integration
- Cocoa for EiffelVision2
- EiffelStudio UI for other languages (internationalization)
Build infrastructure
Developments in this category are intended to help produce new versions of EiffelStudio faster and better.
- Build tool
- Debian packages
- OSX release infrastructure
- Standards and tools for Eiffel based components
- OSX release infrastructure
Other Stuff
Unstarted project ideas
The projects in this list are mere ideas which do not yet have a project page. Feel free to start it!
- Unicode support improvement
- Porting to new platforms (OSX Intel, OpenBSD)
- IDE improvements
- Extended static checking
- Direct code checking (red squiggly lines)
- Integrated learning support
- Editor macro recording and playback
- Inserting and navigation of editor breakpoints
- Adding trace points (output a trace statement indicating a trace point has been hit without writing code or stopping execution)
- Update notification
- An update notification service to let developers know there is a new version available
