Re: [ecf-dev] TweetHub - A Twitter Client Built On ECF

Hi Ivan,

Hello Scott,
as a big fan of the platform it would be a great pleasure for me to
contribute something for
the project. But I would need some guide and help how to do this due to
the fact that I'm not too long into
eclipse plug-in development.
I started reading what ecf is all about and have checked out the related
projects from cvs and
have just read the coding conventions stuff ... still I don't where to
really start to get more into it.
Perhaps you can guide me little through all this.
Sure...it would be a pleasure. Places to look:
1) We have an early twitter provider implementation available here:
CVS: :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/ecf
module for provider plugin based upon twitter4j:
plugins/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.twitter
module for new 'twitter hub' UI:
plugins/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.twitter.ui.hub
2) The twitter provider implements the ECF presence API:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF_API_Docs
This is one of several APIs that the ECF project exposes...but it is the
main one relevant to twitter-based communication (in addition to the ECF
core API).
3) There are several people actively working on the twitter hub (and the
provider) as we speak. Here's the wiki page for coordinating the
TweetHub requirements: http://wiki.eclipse.org/TweetHub. And people
working on TweetHub right now are James Sugrue (who is an ECF
contributor), and Marcelo Mayworm (ECF committer). They both read and
are active on this mailing list...so I'll let them respond with direct
contact information if that's what they would like to do.
4) I am hopeful to be working on a book for ECF as soon as I can get
some time...doesn't help you very much, I know, some consolation is that
at least we're thinking about the needs here :).
Scott
Best Regards
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
Are you interested in contributing any of this work to ECF (i.e. under
EPL, etc)? We would be happy to have you and your contributions as
part of this effort. Note that we also are using twitter4j, so
technical integration would likely be easy.
Thanks,
Scott
