From eyeOS Wiki

Welcome to the eyeOS wiki. This wiki is thought to provide information to developers and system administrators on how to create applications with the eyeos toolkit and how to install and upgrade your eyeos system. If you are an end user you may want to test eyeos at the Free public server. Please contact Jordi Collell for any suggestion or request you have.

Developing eyeos applications is really easy. Please take a look at our 3 steps to start developing on eyeos:

1. Get involved

• The Getting Started page is the perfect place to understand some important concepts (eyeOS Toolkit and widget, and how to start).
• The Applications Development Forum, is the perfect place where you can look for help regarding any problem you have while developing your apps and modules.

2. Start programming

• The Developer Manual is a 37 pages PDF recommended for everyone who wants to create eyeos applications.
• Please keep in mind the Code Style Guide when you're doing your apps. It will help you to create apps which will be similar in style than any other eyeos apps, and this will allow others to join your project once it's started.
• When you start doing your first small apps, feel free to use the eyeOS Documentation Center.
• Projects List keeps a list of all the community projects. If you're doing a new app, please add yourself and the app to the list. You might find help from someone interested in doing something similar to what you're doing

3. Release your applications

eyeos is open source (released under the AGPLv3) and any modification or new application must be released under the same license (or compatible one, such as LGPL, MIT, BSD...). There are different options to release the work you did:

• eyeOS-Apps.org website is the perfect place to release any application or modification you did to eyeos. You will have a permanent page for your app which will track downloads and will allow visitors to comment on your releases. Please note that you should release your apps as eyepackages (packages ready to be installed in any eyeOS system). If you need more info you can check the Eyepackage wiki page.
• If you think that a page in eyeos-apps is not enough to show and explain your project, fork or modification, you may want to add it to the Projects List where you can also create one or several pages in this wiki for your project.
