If you want to do some development, you are encouraged to send your work back
to the authors; if it is well done, it will be added to the
next release. All changes should be submitted to the SourceForge patch tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5771&atid=305771
XaoS has an open development model. All development is coordinated via the SourceForge
website (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xaos
). Development versions are
available via CVS (see http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=5771
for instructions),
so if you are interested in the future of XaoS, give the latest source a try! We also
have a several mailing lists, where you can subscribe if you want to be
informed about latest releases, discuss XaoS with others, or participate in the development
process.
XaoS is quite easily extensible. You might want to read a bit about its internals in the file doc/xaosdev.info. XaoS is also portable, so if it doesn't work on your favorite platform (or there is just an old version available), you could quite easily port it.
Improving the documentation via the Wiki (and improving the DokuWiki converter).
Compiling binaries for your favorite operating system.
Reviewing the source code, adding comments, and checking lines which generate warnings during compilation.
Creating additional tutorials and examples.
Translating XaoS into your language.
Implementing feature requests.
Fixing outstanding bugs.
If you would like to volunteer, join the mailing lists and let us know. We would be happy to help you get started!
