If you're writing a plugin with a small audience, and you don't feel you're getting enough feedback from your users, and you host your plugin on Sourceforge, the ZEF might be for you.

It's our belief that most users who do have ideas for improving our plugins don't have time or don't want to be troubled with signing up with mailing list. By using anonymous postings to a forum, you may get suggestions that would otherwise go unheard.

To add your plugin to the list of "plugins seeking feedback", all you need is the name of your plugin and the id of the sourceforge forum associated with your project. An example is worth a thousand words:

				<extension
 				        id="feedback"
					name="feedback"
         				point="org.zclipse.zef.feedback">
      					<feedback
            					displayname="Zero Effort Feedback"
            					sourceforgeForumId="271332"
            					pluginname="Zero Effort Feedback">
      					</feedback>
   				</extension>
