Well, isn't that the job of the Apache Netbeans. The features requests is what users do. If I have a request and Netbeans wants to include any of us in that teem, one could help. I love the suggestion of the OP, and respect the suggestion being offered. However, accepting that suggestion would require too much effort for a single developer; not only time wise, but also mental and physical, just to mention some. This kind of endeavours are better suited for a stablish company like Apache. I'm offering my help, in case one of the developers need coffee or something from the kitchen :), 7 to 10 hour a week. I truly hope Apache is not just reading this emails, but also giving them the cerebral value they deserve.
