What do I have to do in order to get a developer account? Thank you.
Tell us more about yourself. For example, why do you want to help develop Euphoria? What other development projects have you worked on? What experience and skills would you bring to the team?
The development team uses the mailing list at sourceforge (rapideuphoria-develop@lists.sourceforge.net) and IRC (chat.freenode.net:7000 using SSL) for a lot of the development discussions - have you a sourceforge login yet and do you have an IRC client?
I'm B.Sc. computer scientist currently living in Berlin, Germany and doing for M.Sc. I came across Euphoria as I wanted to build a small application for a home automation solution. I wanted to use an easy to learn scripting language, i.e. minimal syntax, with a standard library of adequate size. I was too lazy to go through the LUA book again and the LUA standard library is not what I needed. Python is not really syntax-minimal... One of my favorite languages, IO, is almost impossible to compile on Windows... That's how I came across Euphoria, syntax is small and easy to learn, about 60 pages in the manual so in about an hour I was ready to go. The standard library is great for the most tasks. I love it so much that I definitely want to help on the development with what I can.
Experience: I know the C standard by heart, I have experience with a quite a lot programming languages and systems. I have worked on quite a lot software projects for different companies. I've developed software for Windows for quite a long time and also have some experience with embedded systems.
SourceForge acocunt: yes IRC: of course..
