Re: [ecf-dev] Tracking Docshare usage

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks very much for your note. My apologies in getting back to you so 
slowly.

Yes, we are interested in usage, although as you describe below we 
haven't put in any instrumentation for docshare yet. I've opened an 
enhancement request to that effect here: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266531

If you could, please join the bug and indicate there (in comment) what 
information you would like to get...i.e. high-level (docshare 
started/stopped), or lower-level (messages).

RE: a contribution...any contributions would be very welcome! If you 
create a patch and attach it to that enhancement request we (one of the 
committers working in this area...which are Marcelo, Mustafa, and 
me/Scott) will apply the patch, test, and then release. Any 
contributinos are automatically under EPL (just wanted to make this clear).

Any such contributions (whether code, docs, testing results, etc) are 
*always* welcome and will get very high priority (in case it's not 
obvious, we are a relatively small group of dedicated folks...most 
working on ECF part-time).

If you wish to create a patch, and want to make sure that we aren't 
making lots of changes on other things while working on it, please 
indicate that you are working on a patch in a certain area on the 
bug/enhancement request, and we will attempt to avoid doing things that 
would make it harder to contribute.

Please be sure to work from the HEAD/ECF 3.0 stream.

thanks,

Scott
