====== How to Download, Install, and Contribute to the Ptidej Tool Suite ======

The Ptidej tool suite aims at providing tools to evaluate and to enhance the quality of object-oriented programs, promoting the use of patterns, either at the language-, design-, or architectural-levels. At the core of the Ptidej tool suite is the [[PADL]] meta-model (Pattern and Abstract-level Description Language). PADL is a semi-language independent meta-model. It provides a set of interface and a reference implementation of the meta-model. It also provides several parsers to create PADL models from various representations of programs.

Working with the Ptidej tool suite give your some rights but also some duties, here are a list of things that you must do:

  * Create a [[http://www.ptidej.net/material/inanutshell#1|username and password]] for some system, such as the SVN.
  * Get acquainted with your [[http://www.ptidej.net/material/inanutshell|working environment]].
  * In particular, writing text and code should follow our [[http://www.ptidej.net/material/inanutshell#5|conventions]].
  * Talk with your teammate, they can certainly help you a lot!

Eventually, the Ptidej Team will use Git so here is a general model of the workflow and a [[http://gitready.com/beginner/2009/01/21/pushing-and-pulling.html|reference]], please contact [[yann-gael@gueheneuc.net|Yann-Gaël Guéhéneuc]] to gain access!
