The F# Compiler and Tools are also mirrored in[the corresponding repository](http://github.com/fsharp/fsharp) of the F# Software Foundation.

Changes contributed here are eventuallypropagaed to this repository and are included in all packagings of F# and open source F# editing tools. The process for doing this is explained in this guide by the[F# Core Engineering Group](https://fsharp.github.io/2014/06/18/fsharp-contributions.html). Currently, the F# community coordinates packaging[other editions of F#](https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/) for use on Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and other platforms, and Microsoft coordinates packaging this repository as part of the Visual F# Tools.

For historical reasons this repository is called "visualfsharp" and currently also contains the Visual F# IDE Tools. The eventual plan is to split these repositories into "fsharp" and "visualfsharp".
