I agree with Dani. Each project's N&N should be
project-specific.
I only ever see the Platform/JDT N&N in web page form. How is
this web page constructed? Is it just done by hand, or is it somehow
automatically generated from some data source?
The ideal, I think, would be to have a common form for feature
information that is maintained by each project based, perhaps,
around the features that they provide. With something like this in
place, we'd have a fighting chance of aggregating it in a
meaningful/useful manner and keeping it up-to-date.
e.g. some kind of record with a title, html fragment with zero or
more images, and a "since" tag that we can compare against the
feature version to determine what features are new. We could use
this to generate a complete feature list and a N&N list.
Maybe this is just an XML file that we keep with each feature.
Thoughts?

No, that is not the correct
solution.
The EPP/main download side can have and advertise a joint
N&N.

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).
