Re: [ecf-dev] TweetHub - A Twitter Client Built On ECF

["James Sugrue" <james@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ivan

Good to hear you're interested. I guess the best place to

Scott, and take a look at what we've done so far.

Maybe there's particular areas in the list of requirements 
that you would be interested in helping out with?

Regards
James
