Hi,
Plenty of traction on marketplace as it seems:

Yes, this is very good. Thanks for going to the trouble to setup the
marketplace distribution.
This to follow up my old rant about us not knowing who our consumers are.

FWIW, I agree with you completely about the need to increase the
information that the projects receive from receivers/downloaders...not
in terms of number of downloads (which, of course, the Foundation tracks
and reports to the Board/commercial membership...at least for the SDK
and perhaps for others), but in terms of *connecting consumers directly
with project team committers*. This is always helpful, both to the
consumers (who need support and generally want to make feature requests
and expose other use cases), and to the project teams (who can provide
the support...and want to get info about other use cases, and requests
for new features). I would argue that this need is particularly acute
for projects like ECF...but sadly I think the problem is that the
Foundation isn't particularly sensitive to the needs of projects like
ECF...and their consumers...as compared to consumers of Eclipse and the
commercial membership.
In any event, I am in full support of the efforts to address this issue
more fully...and to help projects like ECF and it's consumer's
communicate more frequently and effectively.
BTW, ECF also has an 'adopters' wiki page where ECF consumers can
voluntarily make themselves known...to the project team and the
community: http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF/Adopters. I would urge everyone
that can make themselves known to do so...it will help the entire community.
