Hi all,

the Eclipse Guidelines are not really up to date (from 02/2004)! I'm
interested in these Guidelines and should know when the next update of
this article is planned.

Thanks and Greets,
Alexander

Articles appearing on Eclipse Corner have been written by members of the
development team and other members of the eclipse community (in other
words, this is all 'volunteer' work). I'm not sure if an update is
actually planned for this article in particular, but feel free to open a
bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs) in the Community/Articles requesting
this article be updated.

For an out-of-date document what is the policy for allowing others to
update such articles? Can someone who is not the original author of a
document update it?

I believe the answer is "Absolutely". Reading the Contribution
guidelines at http://www.eclipse.org/articles/contributing.php, here's
what I suggest:

1. Search through Bugzilla to see if anyone else is updating the article:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advan ced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&c lassification=Eclipse+Foundation&product=Community&c omponent=Articles&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr

2. If not, open a new bug in Eclipse Foundation/Community/Articles,
stating the article you'd like to update. Someone should give you
feedback at this point

3. ZIP up your updated article, and post it as an attachment to the bug
you opened.

Thanks for contributing your time to Eclipse articles!

And, its even better than Denis describes for these UI Guidelines
guidelines.

The "old" document was converted to the Eclipse Wiki, to make it easier to
collaborate on
updates.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Development_Conventions_an d_Guidelines

If you are in a position to "own" part of the guidelines, and are a
committer, you can update
that wiki page directtly. If you are not in a position to "own" part of
it, you can add to the
discussion page, and, ideally, just include a little section of what you'd
suggest.

And ... not sure ... I think "write" access to that wiki still requires a
committer id and password
... if so, bugzilla entries with suggested content would be good ... or
.... open a bug to fix the
access restriction? :)
