I think the best part is that we don't need to do anything different than what we have to do anyway :) > I have a few ideas: > > - A guide to how to use ESME to learn Scala -- (@Vassil - do you have > ideas?) Popularity surge or not, this might be a good idea; of course it has to be adapted to ESME's concepts. > - A few tips to try out on a local ESME installation to learn Scala. > "Hello World" experience with ESME. A very interesting idea would be to use different components from ESME to create e.g. a Twitter bot; some of the code from ESME actions was initially reused by a standalone bot which feeds items into ESME. > - Better documentation in our existing Scala code (look here for a better > example - > > http://scala-tools.org/mvnsites/liftweb/lift-amqp/scaladocs/net/liftweb/amqp/AMQPDispatcher.scala.html), > so that beginners have an idea what we are doing in our code base. > - More PR work to point people to the Apache ESME site. Absolutely- but I feel before we need to point hordes of potential developers to our site, we should have something more presentable :( maybe not a requirement for a motivated developer if they see promise, but nevertheless finding out easily how to get started could come a long way.
