Re: Implement additional Hints for existing Language

Hey,
I'm the developer of the Netbeans Sightly Plugin 
(http://wcm.io/tooling/netbeans/sightly/) which currently provides basic 
support for Sightly in Netbeans. As I spend most of my time in Sightly 
Templates by now, I'd like to extend the plugin with new functionality I 
think might be handy (documentation, hints, templates etc).

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any in depth 
questions
