Re: [ecf-dev] Developing a share drawing/chat RCP application in 20 minu

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I think such a screen cast is a great idea.  I propose we organize a 
small team to do this over the next few weeks. 

Happily, we have all the major pieces for this already...e.g.

1) The rcpchat ECF IM client application:  http://ecf1.osuosl.org/
2) Hyperbola from Jeff/Jean-Michel's book (which, incidently, I believe 
would be easy to retrofit with ECF as I've already examined the code)
3) A very simple whiteboard app written for the ECF tutorial called 
'scribbleshare' (org.eclipse.ecf.tutorial plugin).  The classes could 
easily be used/reused/integrated/enhanced in the context of a new RCP client
4) All the plugins underlying 1,2,3 (of course)

Are there others able/willing to participate?  Please just chime in on 
this list, and I'll coordinate.  

I'll also create a CVS module and some stub/entry point plugins.

I put a placeholder page on the ECF wiki:  
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_screencast

Thanks,

Scott
