[news.eclipse.tools] Re: How about a Virtual Resource tree?

["Colin Kingsbury" <cwkingsbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Knut,

Thanks for the info, I will look into that.

FYI what I am working on is a p2p knowledge management system which allows
people to create information in both strutcured and unstructured ways, and
share that with a peer group. Each person will be able to view their local
tree, a specific other person's tree, or everyone's merged together, with
the hierarchy structured according to their personal preferences. That's the
beginning of it anyway.

I'm strongly leaning towards basing the UI on Eclipse ratehr than custom
hackery. If anyone's interested I just started up a project page on
Sourceforge, but I haven't got anything released yet.

Best,
-cwk.
