Great, so why don't you ask Zingo for access to push them into the
main repo?

The following statements you made make me believe you're rather taking
the project out of Zingo's hands than contributing to it:

>>We will probably launch a version end of November and will provide more 
>>information about our road-map
>>the plugin remains OPEN-SOURCE and FREE.

Who's giving you the right to decide when a new version of
MercurialEclipse is released, let alone deciding whether our project
remains open source or not? Did Zingo transfer the project leader role
to your company?
I couldn't care less if you gave your project another (distinct) name
but you're calling it HgEclipse.

Don't get me wrong. I haven't contributed anything to ME so far but
I'm using it and following the discussions here right from the start.
I really like the way MercurialEclipse was being developed on so far,
i.e. with a few people managing releases and keeping resources (wiki)
up-to-date and a greater mass just contributing patches and new
features, and just would love to see that continue instead of having a
company taking control of the project. And of course the plugin will
remain open source, anyone claiming the opposite should take a deep
look at the license agreements of the EPL.

I hope I didn't miss anything and am up-to-date, otherwise just forget
about my post. ;)
