RE: [geclipse-dev] Gria Information Gathered

["Mark McArdle" <mm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mathias,

Yes I would be happy to have a look and do some work on it.

Just one question, should I get this code from the G-Eclipse SVN at
http://www.eclipse.org/geclipse/contributing.php

And if so should I use Committers or Contributors, and will I need to
create a Eclipse Foundation user id.
