new open source eiffel compiler?

Hi Eric,

Have you already created an open-source project (e.g. on sourceforge) 
for yor new ECMA Eiffel compiler?  I would like to help with 
development and testing, and I'm sure there are others who would like 
to help as well. 

I'm especially interested in ensuring that the compiler can be used 
to generate code compatible with several mobile phone platforms.  
After the release of SE 1.0 I worked on a branch (MobileEiffel: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mobeiffel) that generated C and Java 
code runnable on several major mobile device targets. This worked 
reasonably well, but I had to strip some thread-unsafe features.  The 
thread safety issue remains in SE 2.x, along with new problems you've 
already pointed out, and SE still provides no support for 
SCOOP/"separate", which is a major issue on mobile device platforms. 

Anyhow, it'd be great to see a more open process for creating a new 
compiler than we've seen in the past with SE, which unfortunately 
seems to be one of the most insular open source development groups 
I've experienced. 

cheers,

Todd
