We've been looking at creating a mylyn connector for our project
management tools.

With the lack of proper documentation around, things are a bit difficult
if not impossible in the mylyn world.

I've got some suggestions on this front:
1. Improve javadoc -- there's very little documentation around mylyn
API, after which I ended up looking at bugzilla to see how to create a
connector.
2. Wiki pages - there's some documentation to get people started (It
definitely did help me get started -- but that's it)
3. Articles (http://eclipse.org/articles) for developers so that they
could help create mylyn connectors.

Any show of hands ?
I'd definitely like to contribute towards point #1, maybe point #3 as well.

Any thoughts ?
