Hi Hugo,
maybe I ca clarify some things about Project Bob.
- Project Bob isn't publicly available right now - there isn't even a public or closed Beta at this time
 
- AFAWK Project Bob will be its own IDE based in VScode, because Project Bob needs more access than a VScode extension can have. The IDE is a fork of VScode and hopefully new VScode features will be intergrated fast. 
 
- AFAWK we will be able to install VScode extensions in the Project Bob IDE. 
 
A lot of this is speculation and extrapolation from what we have seen and tried out at TechXchange. So please take this all with a grain of salt.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks @Emily Seale, I'm looking for guidance on how to add bob extension to my vscode and start using it.
Such a fundamental step was supposed to be so simple and stratight-forward as apparently there are already 6000 IBMers using it, but unforutnately I didn't manage to find this guidance anywhere. :/
Any ideas here would be appreaciated!
