Dear List,
My name is Richard Legendi and I saw that Eclipse ECF is in GSoC:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2011_Ideas
    #Eclipse_Communication_Framework
I would be interested in this topic, especially improving the IRC 
features.
This would be a great thing for the community.  The IRC provider and UI 
was done by a combination of committers, including me, Remy Suen, and 
Chris Anisczyck.
I would love to see improvement made the the IRC provider (the piece 
that talks the IRC protocol)...and/or the IRC UI/client...but I cannot 
offer mentoring for such a project, as I don't have the time to commit 
to it...and do it justice (i.e. I don't want to be a mentor and not be 
able to actually support the student/you).
I encourage one of the other ECF committers to make themselves as a 
mentor for such a project...if you can/would be willing to do so please 
make this known here on the mailing list.
I'm a PhD student and I have ~6 years of Java experience, including 
some Eclipse plug-in development. A few years ago I way playing with 
ECF and I liked it pretty much.
I would appreciate any help about what information should I provide in 
order to be accepted as potential student.
Perhaps you could describe some of the improvements you would like to 
make...so that all the committers, and other community members could 
understand better what you have in mind.
Thanks,
Scott
