Mark,
This is my first and definitively last message in reply to Mark
No-Lastname's posts to DLTK newsgroup at least until he is writing
anonymously.
DLTK is probably youngest project among the projects released to Europa.
DLTK was became Eclipse project at Europa M4 time, and work on Ruby has
been *started* from scratch in the February, 2007. So few things to
consider:
1) What level of completeness you're expecting from one of the youngest
Eclipse projects in terms of stability and documentation availability?
You may "suggest" me write-docs-first or any other "clever" idea, but
I'll refuse them at least for the reason below:
There are already some early adopters around successfully building
solutions on top of DLTK and these adopters much more important to the
DLTK ecosystem at the beginning. And their questions and requests will
be answered at first - not messages from anonymous individuals like you
Mark.
2) Please count DLTK project performance (just a reminder: performance =
path / time). Just count on code, features, and ( yes! ;) )
documentation we delivered during last six month (we are younger than an
year) and just give me a comparison (which looks to be your favorite
job) to other projects delivering same amount of relatively stable and
conceptually complete things in such a short period of time. I would not
going to say "we're great", I just would like to say "we're not so bad".
3) What is your goal Mark?
If the goal is to find other leaders to the project - just find them. If
your goal is to have that documentation, just write it or just pay to
someone if you can't live without it. Hint: send a message to newsgroup
with a subject "I'd like to sponsor documentation for the DLTK project".
Version numbers: yes released version is 0.9. Everyone subscribed to
dltk-dev was updated about this change and reasons behind.
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/dltk-dev/msg00062.html
And finally, Mark you're welcome aboard! Project is in lack of such
energetic enthusiasts. Just please do anything you can: code, write
docs, send us a beer, or just PR (it looks like you're most experienced
in this area).
Kind Regards,
Andrey Platov
Still DLTK Project Lead.

Hello Mark,
Thank you, other Mark (Howe) and everyone around very much for
supporting messages. Of course we did never thought that that messages
from you guys...
In the meantime we put Python implementation under Eclipse.org CVS. It
could be little bit incompatible with latest DLTK Core API, but we'll
make it runnable during next days as well as will add Python to the
build process.
Thanks again, and
Kind Regards,
Andrey

Glad to see the Python code available.
It took me some time to figure out how to get it to run (this being the
first time I've tried to run an eclipse project checked out from CVS) but
it appears to work.
How is the legal process coming along (I have little knowledge of how that
process works)?

Hi Andrey,
I spent some time today playing with the Python tools and I even tried to
hook up the activestate debugger by writing a debug plugin similar to the
Tcl implementation. However, I found pretty much everything else was
broken. ;) I can't even get the parser to succeed as it keeps throwing
NPEs. I'd like to dive in and help on this but my gut feeling is that you
guys need to make at least the core functional first, or I'll just be
spinning my wheels on fundamentals.
Do you know roughly when you are going to be updating the Python plugins
to work with the latest core so that what is checked in at least
functions? I could look at helping out with debug support (and other
things) after that.
BTW - what do you use for your Continuous Integration build? That's a
pretty swanky download page. ;)
Thanks,
Mark.

there are currently outstanding patches that have yet to be applied
that should resolve the issues you are seeing.
see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195753
