Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Joint N&N page for the release train
Greetings.

No complains yet. Good. However, there’s a difference between _thinking_ that something is a good(not bad) idea and actually _implementing_ it.  Thus, before we start asking for modifications in PMI or settings up other solutions, I’d like to know who would be interested to participate. 

I had a good experience using a google form to aggregate feedback about an idea. Thus I set up a form and kindly ask you for your feedback [1]. I’ll publish the results on this list in a few days. 

Thank You
Marcel

Hi

I think the PMI has/can have a full list of all the N&Ns, so is it possible for the PMI to create an N&N index similar to the Help Documentation index so that the Platform N&N links to the overall N&N index? Impact one line per project in an index.

If we want a 'three item' overview, perhaps the PMI could supervise a list of overview N&N's.

Hi Marcel,

I think the correct solution would be to extend the purpose of the Platform N&N to include newsitems from the EPP side.

Best regards, Lars

Greetings cross-projects,

I’d like to get your thoughts about a joint N&N page for Mars Milestones.

The platform maintains a N&N page [1] for changes on the Platform/JDT/PDE. All press releases, blogs and tweets about new milestones are pointing to this page and as such it is the most prominent place to present new features, what’s new and upcoming in Eclipse.

However, IMHO there are much more noteworthy things to talk about. For instance, the addition of the automated error reporting in all EPP packages is such a noteworthy item but it cannot be published on that page because it does not belong to the SDK. I guess many projects have interesting N&N as well. While larger projects with a community/ popular webpage will certainly write a blog post about their new features. Smaller ones with no prominent website or large community lack such a space. In addition, bloggers etc. will certainly not browse all project blogs to find all N&Ns. 

Thus I wonder whether we should have a joint N&N page for the whole release train where every participating project could put, say, up to 3 items per Milestone release with a picture and a short paragraph (as the SDK already does).

What do others think?


Marcel



P.S.: FWIW, every EPP package download page *has* a N&N link in the side menu where EPP packages can add their N&N links. However, it’s not used much and likely is not very popular (at least I assume that b/c I noticed it the very first time today).
