[M3devel] Think we need a new release.

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
Elego wanted to make a CM3IDE instance for free browsing of sources like the "Free Critical Mass Modula-3 (CM3)" since this the only excuse of a non-Modula-3 user, "I can't wait to use the compiler", or, "Do I have a platform enabled system " and we will give you a bootstrap image testable on-line, perhaps you would want to start from that. I think that anybody with modula-3 problems will appreciate that. I know of some Emulators for old platforms like Pdp-8e, Pdp-10, CDC, will anyone be keen to integrate those platforms as for have testing changes on those systems (besides showing that Modula-3 can emulate really basic and complex systems).
Personally I would love to fix the m3-obliq system and related tools to work across several platforms, you know, NetObj testing and some C-level coding inside m3cc , hopefully to make testing but will need to do some C-like clearer version, since this is hard for a non-artistic computer brain also would help to have syntax and grammar rules of M3CG whatever is available (Including M3CG- Clef - C/Assembly compiler for exploratory targets). 
I guess there  is room for more things to be done.
Thanks in advance

I'd love to help beta-testing whatever you guys throw at me.I have linux, windows and mac (11.6) boxes for this purpose.



if testing can be automated, so much the better.


I know it is perhaps not much, but I'd like to help, and this is the only thing I can think of.


if you guys have a more specific task, I'd like to take a crack at it, but be indulgent, I'm just a newbie, so "making compiler not leak" type bugs are probably not what I'll be most effective at.


I think the project could use some help, concerning the webpage (it looks dated, a little), and also with documentatino on to how to get started (screencast anyone?).


if more people could get behind the project, perhaps it would be easier to make releases more often.


perhaps ideas conecrning what the selling points of M3, tha differentiate it from other languages, would be a nice thng to be able to mention in the videos.



I remember that Ruby on rails had some traction going on, after the creator posted some 15 minutes videos concerning how to make a blog, and that kind of stuff.


is it possible, to make a 15 mins video, of the main M3 features, that would help convince more people to join the project.


is this a good idea?

Been a long time between releases. Must be about time.



Firefox is doing 6 weekly releases we are lucky if we get one every 6

years. Sorry thats a bit harsh, all the same we need some new

commitment.



Regards Peter
