Mylyn is particularly cool plugin for eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/

What's the most compelling feature from leo perspective is that some
nodes are more "interesting" than others. Interesting nodes are:

- Nodes that have been edited recently (today? this week?)
- Nodes that have been "looked at" (scrolling around the node, trying
to "find" something in the node, nodes that give good match in search
results...)
- Nodes you explicitly mark as interesting
- New nodes, nodes you have pointed clones at
- Parents of interesting nodes

Mylyn maintains "interest score" for files/ functions, which map
directly to leo nodes (though having persistent gnx's for auto nodes
would help). All you need to do is to maintain an interest database
for nodes, and colorize the nodes by interest (interesting nodes are
bold, very uninteresting ones are italic). You would also have "expand
interesting nodes to view" button.

Note how interest is calculated continuously & automatically, contrary
to systems where you need to "bookmark" interesting nodes explicitly
e.g. with icons.

Interest score decays with time, as the focus of your work moves on.

Mylyn's interest database can be switched according to task at hand
(e.g. "now I'm working on task bugfix_123, set interest db
accordingly"). This is of course a piece of cake to implement by just
switching the interest db.

All in all, this should be pretty easy to do with what we have
currently. Now it just has to be done :-).
