Hey Geertjan, thx for pointing that out. Yes I already heard those names but I didn’t know which people are from community like me, working in his freetime (for some I can guess, for some not) on features and who are the people are still get paid from Oracle. So again, thx for that.
You have a clear point, me too, you know that. Whereever I can help with my knowledge and whatever I can do, be sure, I will. My priority list for adding new features to NetBeans as 3rd-party-plugins or into the core is big. Thx for adding the page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Feature+Request+Outlines I will think about the stuff, how it can/will look like, with screenshots/little proposals, etc. I only want to be heard not to say: I need this, please make it. I often created tickets where I thought: man that sounds easy, let’s do it. So thx again for the hints, I will do my best. Back in the days, I know that plan under Oracle, having proposals how a feature can look like. Cheers Chris Von: Geertjan Wielenga Gesendet: Freitag, 22. Februar 2019 15:12 An: dev Cc: d...@netbeans.apache.org Betreff: Re: Team in India You know them already -- see them here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/graphs/contributors rtaneja1, sarveshkesharwani, arusinha, and vikasprabhakar. Who are these people? What have they contributed? It's very easy to see -- click the link above and you'll see their commits. They've been focused on bringing the NetBeans code over from Oracle to Apache, which has been really a lot of work, as well as bringing in new features for the latest releases of the JDK, e.g.: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Feature%3A+JDK+12 Their focus is and will remain in the Java area of Apache NetBeans. In the same way as various community people are working on the Java/Jakarta EE support of Apache NetBeans, e.g., Josh Juneau and Pete Whelpton, similar things should/could be happening in the JavaScript area. Chris, you can really help -- personally, I'm not going to investigate things just because you shout loudly about things. Instead, I'd be happy to be involved, together with you, as equals, together with anyone else -- but only if we can work calmly and rationally, with a clear list of priorities. I am not going to investigate something simply based on your understandable frustrations, that is not the basis of anything useful -- that is called "the squeaky wheel getting the grease". So, here is where you can put clear outlines, i.e., specifications, for new features. E.g., I'd love to work on Vue support. But what is Vue support? What does a Vue project look like? What capabilities should it have? Yes, you have an issue, but what we need is a specification so that we can work on a clear set of functionality for each JavaScript feature we together consider priorities to work on: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Feature+Request+Outlines Can you do this, it would be a great contribution to Apache NetBeans, to lead the delivery of specifications for missing features in the JavaScript area. Again, no, this is not a request for a response with a long list of issues. Instead, those issues need to be grouped around features that we can work on implementing together.
