=============
 Development
=============

``SoL`` development is carried on in a git__ repository on GitLab__.

You can visit the `activity`__ page to see what's happened recently.

If you are a developer, you are more than welcome to `fork it`__ and adapt or improve it to fit
your needs, and I will happily integrate back the changes you may contribute.

There is also some `technical documentation`__ automatically extracted from the sources.

Donations
=========

Since the beginning\ [#]_ I sustained all the maintenance costs of ``SoL``, both in terms of study
and development of the software, and the hosting of the service, usable and browsable for free.

Since some time `ECC`__ sponsors the development of ``SoL``, bearing part of the server maintenance
costs.

If you use ``SoL`` to organize tournaments, in particular of national relevance, please
**consider** the opportunity of making a donation contributing to its development and
maintenance, so that the service may be keep going.

.. [#] I started writing ``Scarry`` in October 1999, while ``SoL`` saw the light just under ten
       years later!
