RE: [e4-dev] Homepage / Description improved, please review
Oh, the idea was not that "inspring community participation" were a pervasive theme... here is what I just committed:
 
Building on current Eclipse and OSGi technology as a solid foundation, its major goals include
 
... and plugins in other languages. We also look at pervasive themes such as reducing bloat, and many other themes are brought up by the broad community particiting in this effort.
 
Thanks for the great feedback!
 
Cheers,

Random points...

- I'm not sure "Extending on..." is a common phrase in English, but I don't have any good alternatives.
- s/flexibe/flexible/
- instead of "...in other languages, pervasive themes like reducing bloat, and more involving broad community participation.", how about "... in other languages. Pervasive themes include reducing bloat, and inspiring broad community participation."

Hi all,

after some edits, here is once again the current web description "about e4" -- inlined into the E-Mail for easy reading. Comments and ideas are welcome! Original HTML here if the links dont work for you:
http://www.eclipse.org/e4/project-info/project-page-paragraph.html

e4 is the incubator for Eclipse 4.0, to be released 2010. Extending on current Eclipse and OSGi technology, its major goals include

    • Making it easier to write plugins
    • Allowing better control over the look of Eclipse based products
    • Providing a uniform, pervasive platform across computing environments (Web / RIA, Desktop, Server, Cloud, Embedded)
    • Increasing diversity of contributors to the platform
    • Maintaining backward compatibility for API-clean clients
In order to reach these goals, Eclipse APIs are refactored into services that make up a uniform application model, which supports dependency injection to run in multiple different contexts such as desktop or web; the Workbench is uniformly modeled to provide introspection, flexibe shaping, CSS styling and declarative UI markup; SWT target platforms are added to run in the Browser; and many more initiatives in areas such as flexible resources, command recording, scripting, plugins in other languages, pervasive themes like reducing bloat, and more involving broad community participation.

The mission of the e4 project is to build a next generation platform for pervasive, component-based applications and tools. See the original project proposal for more details.
