Hi Mikaël (and FEEP community!),

I haven't brought it up very prominently yet, but I'd like bring up the idea of doing some work to maximize screen usage. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506042

This kind of work could be split up in several sub-items I think.

What do you think?

Dear community,

I'm reaching you out to prepare FEEP for 2017. The Eclipse Foundation is committed to help improving the upcoming Oxygen release. As such it is willing to start to work on new FEEP items very early next year. For that purpose, we would like to gather your ideas / priorities about the work items that should be open for bidding next year. As a reminder, the completed items from last year are listed here https://projects.eclipse.org/development-efforts?field_work_state_value=closedCompleted&sort_by=field_work_projects_nid&sort_order=DESC.

Besides the items that are still opened from this year (https://projects.eclipse.org/development-efforts), I would like to propose these three additional ones:

- SWT/Chromium integration (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=405031). Provide a CEF fragment on each major platforms (win 32/64 / linux 32/64 / macos 64) and use it when doing new Browser(parent, SWT.EMBEDDED_CHROMIUM).

- Improve p2 repo download speed by using mirrors for p2 artifacts/metadata repositories (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=507657)

- Modernize the Eclipse Help look & feel (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=501718).

Do you have comments or concerns about these new items or the old ones? 

Please, give us your suggestions for other bugs or topics that you think should be addressed next year. 

Thanks,

Mikael

PS: the Architecture Council categorized some bugs last year as potential work items (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&list_id=15389424&query_format=advanced&short_desc=%5Bfeep%5D&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr). It could give you more ideas.
