[vimplugin-devel] I Would Like to Help Out with Code Development

[<zee...@ne...>]

Hi,

My name is Robert Barror. I am a software architect. ( Wow, that sounds like a 12 step program intro :) ) ... It all started when I was 14 ...

... anyways,

I would like very much, to be able to use eclipse without loosing VIM. I would also like to contribute my time to the community. I understand that you guys could use more developers. I am currently quite tied up with contract work, but I should be free to devote time to a software project starting in October. I would be more then happy to give 10-15 hours a week assisting were ever I can. I feel that if I am going to put my heart into something, it is better for it to be something everyone can benefit from.

I am not to particularly picky about the type of software I am developing as long as it is challenging and targets posix like platforms :) I have been programing since 1974. I have learned a lot of languages. But I have never written any Java code (though I learned it well enough to become a Sun certified Java developer). I have been using Python (my current fav language) which has a similar object model, so I should be able to learn to think in Java quickly. I am well versed in C and C++. 

Please let me know if I can help, and if so, what I should be studying to get up to speed. BTW, I have been using VIM for about 10 years. I have lost count of the number of time I have compiled it for HP-UX. It is one of my MUST-HAVE applications. I have messed with Eclipse a little, but without VI, I find it too limited for real work. I have just downloaded eclim and will be playing with it sometime this week, if I get the time.

thx, bob
