Re: [platform-text-dev] [platform-ui-dev] [proposal] Unite platform text

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should clarify that I have currently no deep knowledge in
eclipse.platform.text. But I'm definitely willing to help and to learn
more about it. This does not mean that I would be able to solve
complex problems without the help of existing eclipse.platform.text
committers.
