Note that Stratego is now part of the Spoofax Language Workbench, which provides an Eclipse plugin for developing SDF and Stratego, and creating Eclipse IDE plugins for your own language. See the Spoofax website for information and downloads: http://metaborg.org. This website is still available for historical purposes. Refer the new site for up-to-date documentation.

There are many interesting and less interesting improvements that can be made to the Stratego implementation. Anyone who is interested in doing some work on the compiler, the library, the XT tools, or the documentation is welcome. Please join the stratego-dev mailinglist if there is something you would like to do, so that we can avoid duplication of work.
