[e4-dev] FW: [eclipse.org-board] Results of e4 Survey
|
All,
I thought you might find this interesting.
At the December board meeting it became apparent that there was
relatively little understanding of the e4 project. Mike Taylor took the initiative
of surveying the Solutions Members to better understand what the membership
knows about e4 and what they hope it might be. The results are attached.
Of particular interest is likely p. 10:
Possible characteristics of
e4 were rated as important in the following order:
1. Simpler
customization of look/feel/branding (3.72)
2. Easier
install/provisioning (3.62)
3. (tie)
More customizable look and feel (3.59) / Stronger separation between base
components (3.59)
4. Improved
workspace model (3.54)
5. Full
backward compatibility with Eclipse 3.x (3.47)
6. Server-based
architecture (3.35)
7. (tie)
Smaller runtime footprint (3.24) /F aster start-up time (3.24)
8. The ability
to develop code once and deploy either via the web or as a rich client (3.19)
9. Ability to
re-use UI components in the web (2.81)
10. Tight integration for web
pages displayed within an Eclipse UI (2.75)
11. Ability to build plug-ins
in multiple languages (2.73)
12. Smaller download size
(2.62)
I would highly encourage everyone to take a look at the
attachments. It’s a pretty positive snapshot, and provides some useful
information on the thinking that is out there amongst the commercial membership
of the Eclipse Foundation.
Special thanks to Mike Taylor for driving this!

Subject: [eclipse.org-board] Results of e4 Survey
Importance: High
Eclipse Board Members and Solution Providers,
In January of 2009 the Solution Provider Board Reps put
together a quick survey to assess the awareness and knowledge of Eclipse e4 in
the Solution Provider Member community. We had a great response and I think the
survey will provide you with some very useful information. I've attached a
PowerPoint file that gives an overview of the results and a pdf of the complete
results from Survey Monkey.
Thanks to everyone who helped develop the questionnaire and
also those who completed it.
PS. The survey is distributed under the EPL, so you can use
the info freely and publicly in that context.
