Contribute an Add-on

XMLmind offers up to 5 “lifetime” XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition licenses to any person who contributes an add-on of any kind (translation, spell checker dictionary, configuration for a given document type, etc).

However there are a few conditions, dictated by common sense, if you wish to contribute an add-on:

1. You'll have to package your add-on as a .zip archive (see below). The add-on descriptor, a .xxe_addon XML file contained in the archive, must have a a:author element in case your users wish to contact you.
2. If your add-on is a translation or a dictionary, the language of this translation or this dictionary must be your mother tongue. More information.
3. If your add-on contains commands written in the Java™ language, you must be an experienced Java developer.
4. In all cases, you must be a reasonably experienced XXE user.
5. You'll have to upload your add-on to our Web site using this form . The basic idea is simply to centralize all add-ons, whether user-contributed or developed by XMLmind, to make it easy for users to install them.

   For obvious reasons, the access to the upload form has been restricted. You need to contact us, , to obtain a username/password allowing to access the page containing the upload form .
