Eugene,

Thanks for offering your help. 

During M8 and M9 the text team will
work on folding in text editors. The concrete plan for M8 will be available
next week. In order to gain additional familiarity with the text and editor
components you could work on some of the smaller enhancement requests.
This would be a great help for us. Let us know which ones you like to work
on. This mailing list is fine for discussing text and editor issues.

Cheers, Kai

Subject	[platform-text-dev] Willing to contribute

Hi all.



I am willing to aid Eclipse development team. I've got decent experience
in
both Java and Eclipse plugin development (i.e. for last 6 month I'm working
on a complex commercial editor based on GEF/JFace/will be based on an RCP).

So, I hope my skills will be enough to start working on a folding in a
text
editor - the only problem I see is a lack of the free time to devote to
open-source development :(



I've got following questions:

  1.. Which mailing list should I address?
  2.. Is there any person working on this feature already? If it is
so, I
will try to do something else :)
  3.. If any research was done on this topic, isn't the implementation
blocked by the SWT or any other module aside from the
org.eclipse.ui.editors.
  4.. Can the foldable regions be overlapping or nested ones are enough?
  5.. Please share any thoughts you have on the topics - maybe there
were
some previous discussions - though I've tried to search the archives.


Eugene
