Re: [Vimplugin-devel] Reviving vimplugin

[Scott T. <sub...@gm...>]

I have a great interest in this project, as it solves a problem I'm looking
to solve, and it does so without charging me anything. I'm also interested
in helping you if you need the assistance. I have a solid background in C,
C++, Java(including eclipse), Perl, and Unix/Linux.

I got vimplugin to work using the directions you gave me below. My problem
was file associations, because I was trying to open a Perl file to edit,
which isn't setup by default to work with Vim. The Window|Preferences menu
cleared that up.

As for your plans with the project

1) I think re-announcing this would get a lot of people interested. You may
consider starting an IRC channel. There's a decent sized community working
behind viplugin, but they're charging for the product so I'm not interested.
I'm sure there's a lot more people like myself who would rather not pay for
software if they don't have to.

2) A commit mailing list would be helpful.

3) Good idea.

4) Also a good idea.

5) SVN is excellent, much better than CVS.

6) At least to inform people that development has once again started.

I've noticed a few things missing from vim that I use quite a bit (eg. PGUP,
PGDOWN), and I can probably get double buffering to work as I've already
done so with a few projects back in my college days.

So yes, I'm behind this project and I would be happy to see a community
sprout around it.
