[ecf-dev] Some of my ideas for contribution to ECF

Hi

It's been a while since I've been properly involved in ECF, but I've a few ideas that I'd like to run by the list, to see if there's any interest/worth there.

A long time ago, Marcelo and I did some work on Tweethub. Due to various reasons, we let is slide. There's a few things I'd like to do to get that back up and running. It doesn't connect to Twitter (there's a bug logged for this already). Also, it would be interesting to try and remove the need for the Twitter4J library. I think the Tweethub project could be the basis of an interesting tutorial about how providers work, and how to use them.

Next, I'd like to do some kind of overview video for ECF. A lot of projects, like m2eclipse and Xtext have videos on front page - it should be easy for us to get an overview of ECF done... What do you think?

I'd also like to see about using ECF to write a plugin to integrate into Eclipse that could hook into some streaming audio service.

I'd be interested to hear any thoughts. Perhaps some of these ideas have already been explored?

In the meantime, I've got to get myself setup with Git etc. Should be fun, I've only really used CVS so far. At least I have Alex's series to help me out!

Regards

James
