Hello,
My name is Kerri. My friend Sarah and I are working on
a new plug-in for Eclipse as our Major Project in college at Worcester
Polytechnic Institute. We will be utilizing ECF so that teams
(SourceForge teams) can hold meetings. We are thinking that we will make
the chat editable because we want the user(s) to be able to connect to
SourceForge and create tasks to put into their project from the chat. We
want the users to be able to highlight text within the chat (and be able to
edit it, if necessary) and form there they will be able to right click and
assign the task. A GUI will pop up so that the user can fill in all of
the necessary details for the task and then submit it. After submission,
the task will go into the team’s SourceForge project.
I am writing this e-mail because we were wondering if anyone
had any ideas as to how this could be done. As of now, ECF’s chat
pane is not editable and so that will definitely need to change, but should we
recreate, or extend? Is what I described above a good idea? What
changes would you make? How would you do this? Just some questions
to think about so that we can get some feedback and hit the ground running with
it. Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Kerri Edlund
