Re: [platform-text-dev] Willing to contribute

Eugene,

You mentioned earlier that you'd be willing to help out in other areas.  I 
suggest doing a Bugzilla query using the "helpwanted" keyword against 
whatever components pique your interest.
Here's the query against Platform, JDT, PDE:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=JDT&product=PDE&product=Platform&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=helpwanted&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&namedcmd=Eclipse+SWT&newqueryname=&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&order=map_assigned_to.login_name,bugs.bug_id

If you want to work on any of these (or any other feature or bug), it's 
best to let the corresponding team know first via a quick post to the 
corresponding mailing list.

Regards,
Nick

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

[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
