CDT has been struggling for a long time to advertise new features, to get users aware of them. We've even had to resort to adding extra menu items just to give hints that a feature exists. A "tip of the day" framework that projects could hook into would be beneficial. It could even be a "smart tip" where opening a view could provide a relevant tip, or such other events. With a throttle of some sort, to not annoy the user. BR,

The issue with the welcome page is the many people only looks at it once and close it. More experienced people close it even before looking at it, by habit, even if this page would help them. We already had similar discussions on the ide-dev mailing-list last year or so; about a way to teach users good tips&tricks. A proposal was a "tip of the day", like many applications do. I believe this would work better than the welcome page for such thing. Such a "knowledge and recommendation framework for the IDE" would probably make sense in EPP or Platform/UA. What we need is Clippy ;) Cheers, |
