[ecf-dev] Summer of Code 2007

["Erkki Lindpere" <villane@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm... I noticed this:

   * Develop a newsreader similar to Pan,Thunderbird but based on Eclipse

I might be interested in doing that. And I've already started somewhat 
with the bbreader example (but a real newsreader is of course a lot more 
complex) and a bit of code already written for an NNTP provider for ECF/BBAPI. Can 
someone who is already a contributor (or commiter in case I want to 
become one) take part in Summer of Code?

Yes, Eclipse will participate with the SoC program again this year. There is a wiki page currently setup to take in ideas from people:

Please post any ones you have ;)

It does mean enabling ECF to 'speak' jingle (by implementing an ECF call
API provider via the Smack Jingle extensions).  This is what Roland Fru,
Pierre Henry Perret and myself have primarily been working on.

It also means creating a stand-alone RCP application (e.g. soft phone/IM
app).  We would like to have done this already, but have not had the
resources to work on this yet.  We would welcome contributions and/or
contributors/committers specifically to do this with us.

My understanding is that yes, Eclipse will participate in SoC 2007.

Does

Yes, absolutely.  It could be a great project, I think...particularly if
we can connect it with the ongoing work by Roland, Pierre and myself.

You also might want to join the ecf-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing list

http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/maillist.php

I'm forwarding this note to that mailing list as well so that Roland and
Pierre can be made aware of your interest.

Thanks,

Scott
