New Development Tools for Scilab Contributors

[Scilab Communication]

Dear all,

New development tools  are made available to ease Scilab external 
developers contribution :

*Modules*

Contributing to Scilab development can be done by writing external 
modules that extend Scilab capabilities in specific fields. These 
modules provide new features and documentation to Scilab users.

Since Scilab 5.2, a new website called "ATOMS Portal 
<http://atoms.scilab.org/>" has been released to replace former "Scilab 
Toolboxes Center" and host all external modules developed by external 
developers.

These modules can be made available to Scilab users directly from Scilab 
console via a new feature named ATOMS (AuTomatic mOdules Management for 
Scilab), if the module author wishes it.

In parallel, external modules sources are now managed through Scilab forge.

More information on how to use ATOMS can be found on Scilab wiki : 
http://wiki.scilab.org/ATOMS

*Forge*

Scilab forge is a new tool for external modules developers to help them 
in their development work with some useful features:

    * sources management using git or svn,
    * bug tracking system,
    * download area,
    * ...

Feel free to create your own project on the Forge and then make your 
external module available through ATOMS. More information can be found 
on: http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/help/#q-newproject 
<http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/help/#q-newproject%20>


And for users, ATOMS allows them to download and manage external modules 
easily and efficiently.
