        I do approve Denis, yes please kick off the
          process.
         
        Hi Claes, 
         
        Thank you for submitting for the plugin
          updates. I haven’t approved yet simply because I was sick and
          then unavailable, and now making up for my day job: I hope to
          be able to test and review after this week (over Independence
          Day holiday in US)  
         
        I am working on the server builds to fit
          with the new Eclipse storage (git) and make the contents of
          the language files more accessible by utilizing git more.  I
          have a Jenkins build but the build process takes too long
          right now to be practical: right now “daily” builds can take
          more than a day, and the process works on full source jars
          rather than changed files in a release for each project,
          leading to a lot of unneeded overhead.
          
         
        I will be putting out a build for 03/2023
          and 06/2023 in July that I build manually using the old
          method, but then switch over before 09/2023 and try to align
          with SimRel for drivers from that point.
          
         
        Regards,
        
         
        
          
            
            Hi
                Claes,
             
            I remember you well from many years ago - 2018 if I'm not
              mistaken. You had submitted changes to the Babel Messages
              editor.
             
            Gerald is a new committer, and he's been working on the
              server-side, and producing the builds. I have no issues
              nominating you as a committer if he agrees.
             
            @Gerald, would you like for me to kick-off the process?
             
            Denis

                I would like to
                    contribute to the Babel Plugin project. However,
                    since there are no active committers to the project
                    it is hard. I made a similar attempt 2017 but lost
                    interest for the same reason. -There simply is not
                    anyone that has time to do code review. Beyond that,
                    the project is in really bad shape. I have it
                    building on my computer but there are a lot of
                    runtime issues.
               
              
              
                We have used an
                    internal version of the Message Editor at our
                    company but we will need to enhance our NLS tooling
                    soon and I plan to improve the Tapiji bundles to
                    achieve that. I could continue to work on our
                    internal version but I rather do it on the Babel
                    Plugins repository. Currently, I see no real way to
                    do that though.
               
              
              
                If possible, I
                    would like to become a committer to the Babel
                    Plugins project. I have been an Eclipse RCP
                    developer since 2005 and I am also a committer to
                    the Eclipse BIRT project. I do not have much time to
                    spare, but I should be able to get the project in a
                    usable state at least.
               
              
              
                Best regards
                  Claes
