How to contribute to Eliot

Programmers

Eliot has been developed by Antoine Fraboulet and Olivier Teulière. Other developers are welcome.

The mailing-list eliot-dev (@nongnu.org) is used for the development of Eliot. Subscribers receive the commit messages every time a change is made in the source code. You can subscribe or unsubscribe on http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/eliot-dev.

There are still many things to do to improve Eliot. Here are some examples:

• handling of the save games in every game mode
• porting to Macintosh (should be quite simple normally)
• network game, to play with friends through Internet
• improvement of the artificial intelligence in the free game mode
• implementation of the GADDAG dictionary format for an even faster search
• ...

Non-programmers

Even if you don't know how to program or simply don't want to, there are still many other ways to participate in the project:

• help promoting Eliot (Scrabble club, websites, friends, ...)
• translate Eliot into another language
• write a small user guide or a tutorial
• provide the official word list in another language than French or English
• ... and any other ideas that could help improving the program (suggestions about the ergonomy, ...)
