RE: [babel-dev] Re: Home for translation tools?

I am sadly coming to the same time-constraint conclusions with my Messages
Editor plugin.   I realize I have not made any contributions in quite some
time (including bug fix).  I see Stehan plugin ovelaps in intent (but is
otherwise different) with the Messages Editor.  I had on the agenda to offer
a table-like "tab" to the Messages Editor like Stephan has done (a feature
requested a few times when the plugin was on SourceForge).   If Stefan
plugin was to be contributed, it would be neat if the two tools could be
merged somehow.   I see offering the ability to toggle between the two data
entry screens within the same "Editor" (ultimately sharing most of the same
code base).   I would love to have the time to work on this, but I clearly
don't.

I will try to seek contributors from the former SourceForge plugin
community.  Otherwise, I suppose it does not hurt to leave the Messages
Editor in the code base until I, or someone else, have more time to pick it
up.

Having my contribution homed in Babel would be okay for me. However, I would
love to see such tooling become part of the Eclipse SDK, because it is
really helpful for every RCP application that gets localized and also for
editing the default bundles (making access to the localization strings so
much easier). Would it be possible to develop the NLS tooling in Babel and
still have it shipped in the Eclipse SDK?

I really appreciate being proposed as a committer, but unfortunately my time
doesn't allow to make big contributions. I would be happy if anyone would
pick up my code (even if only as a prototype) to produce something that can
be made available generally.
