All Council Members,

During our June Board meeting, the Board had a number of very positive
conversations about how to further improve Eclipse's adoption and to create
additional opportunities for the commercial ecosystem. One conclusion of
the Board is that it would be advantageous for all Eclipse projects to
improve our user's experience.

As a result, the Board would like to request that all projects consider
packaging, installation and out-of-the-box experience to be important
objectives for all projects included within the 2007 Eclipse release train.

To be clear, everyone realizes that Eclipse projects control their own
resources and objectives. This is simply an attempt to raise the profile of
these issues as the various teams start their planning.

Thanks.
