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

[Ivan <mungoparks@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

 I have checked out the projects from cvs and have started the tweet hub
plug-in.
Exploring the tweet Hub perspective ... OK looks nice so far now I need
some time looking at the code -  I guess this evening
I'll find some hours to get a look and configure my eclipse settings and
stuff .

I've read the http://wiki.eclipse.org/TweetHub and now it would be nice
to know where I can start.
Is there a roadmap or plan where I can see who is doing what or who's
the man to tell me what's to be done  ?

Is the current  layout e.g a view for messages, direct messages ,
replies... fixed or can this be discussed ?
First i started also with a view for each of the before mentioned tabs
but than grouped them all in one view within
a CTabFolder.
What about the login page - should we provide OAuth support  ? I guess
yes because twitter recommends that..
still more questions in my mind but must pick up son from kindergarten
so to get things started i quit for now.

Regards
Ivan
