Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse platform milestone hard to find


I agree that our milestones should be more visible as well.

Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse platform milestone hard to find





Martin's right. We need to satisfy both communities: those that want to
just use the latest release of Eclipse, *and* those that are providing the
extremely important service of testing our milestones.

I realized that the download for the latest Eclipse platform milestone (for
example 3.4 M2) is really hard to find.

The download link 'http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/' will not help you,
all you find are links to the Europe downloads.

What you have to do is to go on 'Projects' 'Eclipse Project' 'Eclipse
Platform' to click on the download icon.
I think this is almost impossible to find.

I think its really important to propagate the platform milestone builds
better.
- We depend on users testing and giving feedback on the latest
- We need to keep users interested in Eclipse. The milestone 'new and
noteworthy' document serves that purpose.
We spend considerable time on creating the 'new and noteworthy'. If it
stays as hidden as now, I wonder if its worth the effort.

-> Put a link to a new 'new and noteworthy' to the news ticker
-> Put a link to the latest milestone on the main download page. Explain
who should use it and how.

The download packages are great to have. Maybe they can also be offered by
milestone?
