Well, there is no "official" plan of what the releases should
contain. But if you'd like to contribute there are lots of
things one can do (in increasing complexity):
1. Add more grammars to the free repository:
http://www.nongnu.org/grammatica/grammar/index.html
2. Improve the Grammatica documentation where it is lacking,
for example in the reference manual (or elsewhere).
Scanning through the mailing list archives might give some
ideas of what needs to be improved (mostly the .NET
documentation I think). See bugs #6647, #6962 and #7874
for example (Documentation group).
3. Improve the integration with other tools. The generated C#
should offer XML comments (#7873), the VS.NET integration
could be better (#6965), and integration with tools such
as Eclipse (#6963) and NANT could be provided. And simple
shell scripts are missing (#6964).
4. Separate the processed grammar from the Parser and
Tokenizer classes. I.e. move the DFA and look-ahead token
sets into a new net.percederberg.grammatica.parser.Grammar
class. Then change the API to allow reusing that Grammar
when parsing multiple files. This would break API (and thus
cause a 2.0 release) but might improve parsing speed when
handling many files.
5. Improve the tokenizer to generate a full DFA for all tokens
or add support for LALR grammars...
6. Any other issue you might have or something else from the
bug list: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=grammatica
And as I just said to Adrian, it would be fantastic if you or
anyone else would like to help with Grammatica.
Cheers,
