| RE: [birt-pmc] Eclipse Downloads |

Mike, Did I say nightmare? Okay, maybe
that is a bit of an exaggeration. From the new top level, I actually see
ways to get to BIRT (By Project, By Topic, and Popular Projects) so that is
good. I just wonder if some users may find the navigation tricky (we’re
report developers, we need all the help we can get). I will take a look at the Packaging
Project. Scott From:
birt-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:birt-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Milinkovich Hey Scott, Is this really that bad? We certainly didn’t intend to cause
anyone a “navigation nightmare”. The goal was to provide every user
a role-based mechanism to getting their Eclipse package. (You can find the
contents of each package here.) The top right nav is shown below, and gets you to the BIRT
download in two clicks (“By Project” -> BIRT)
If this isn’t good enough, the place to start is the Eclipse Packaging Project. They’re
the ones currently defining the packages. From:
birt-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:birt-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Rosenbaum I finally started working on getting BIRT running on my Ubuntu machine
as part of the community certified tagging. While downloading, I went to
the main Eclipse download page. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads
It looks like things have changed. They now have five featured
Europa packages.
While handy for people wanting one of those packages, it has moved the
BIRT download to a bit of a navigation nightmare. Do we want to petition
the foundation to get the BIRT All-In-One listed as one of the featured Europa
Packages? If yes, who should take this up? I am happy to talk to
the webmasters if no one else wants to do it. Scott |
