Conversion of cocoacontrols, etc projects to BT

I keep up to date with projects from cocoacontrols, code4app, etc and I have a couple I think would make valued plugins. But with my limited (non-existent) knowledge of ios programming I have, I don't know where to start to convert these projects to a BT plugin. Would it be useful to have someone produce a tutorial on how to attempt these conversions. Secondly, it may be worthwhile to have a list of members who may be interested in doing the conversion to a plugin 1. out of the goodness of their heart, 2. For a fixed fee or 3. for the income from the plugin.

First you would 'create' the new plugin in your BT Control Panel 'Plugins'. Once done, you would put it into your control panel. Take the 'new' plugin and put it into an app. Download the app for either iOS or Android (or both). Then 'migrate' your code into the plugin. Granted, that is a very 'broad' version of what needs to be done, but that's how you start. I use a few different methods of creating a plugin; but it usually ends up being a view controller being migrated into my 'plugin' code, and miscellaneous code to support it. Hope this helps, or maybe in some small way clears things up a little... Cheers! -- Smug
