I'm just an amateur, hobbyist code monkey, but would be willing to
help out. I could be assigned some tedious tasks to perform. We
could give that a try if it would help.

Hi,
I must admit that the timing is quite good. I have worked a lot with
EiffelStudio and have developed a lot of things for it (a lot of
libraries actually). But Eiffel Software seems to want to close the door
to the openness of EiffelStudio. We have to work with a 2-year-old
version (19.05) so that EiffelStudio want to launch without the
necessity of having an online account. So, I am a little bit mad about
that. But I love the Eiffel programming language. So if you need my help
with Liberty Eiffel, I would be glad to help. I am a pretty good
programmer, that beleive in open source software, and that has
experience in language development. So count me in.
Good day,
Louis M
