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.

Language and compiler

This is the heart of the Eiffel environment: providing the best possible implementation of the Eiffel language.


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.

Build infrastructure

Developments in this category are intended to help produce new versions of EiffelStudio faster and better.


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!

An update notification service to let developers know there is a new version available


Completed projects

Adding your own project
