Hello Rapha and everyone,
I would also very much like to support Liberty Eiffel, and to see it 
continue as an active project.
I'm only an amateur programmer (though I did a bit of IT study some 
years ago), so I couldn't help directly with the compiler maintenance or 
development.
My thoughts where I could contribute would be by using Liberty Eiffel 
for some small projects that I have in mind and giving feedback/bug 
reports if appropriate, helping with simple testing, and giving feedback 
on or contributing to documentation where I can. It would need to be in 
my spare time, so I guess a few hours a week at the moment.
Wishing the project and everyone involved the best of luck!
Aaron
