Updating BIRT Project Pages
The community requested updates to the BIRT Project pages have been made. The updates provide more information on how the project is run and links to additional Eclipse resources on the same topic.
Project pages can be found at: http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/project/
BIRT Project Wiki Pages
The main page for the BIRT Wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/BIRT_Project) has had an extensive update to make the information contained in the Wiki more accessible.
Project Weekly Update
Scott is working on the concept of a BIRT Project Weekly Update to keep the community up to date on what is happening in the code base at a summary level. While this information is already available at a detail level with the various check-in notices, etc., the goal is to provide a summarized update for those that are looking for a quick overview.
