[epp-dev] Newsfeed aimed at end-users integrated with Java EPP package?

[Andreas Sewe <andreas.sewe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi fellow EPP developers, hi Sopot

not sure how many of you know this already, but at the moment the Committers EPP package ships with an RSS newsfeed plug-in. This plug-in comes with two RSS feeds active: the latest additions to the Eclipse Marketplace and Planet Eclipse.

Now, the question is whether we could extends this, to, say the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.

I haven’t found too many sources of great content, however. While Planet Eclipse is a great read for Eclipse committers, your average Eclipse user doesn’t care about EclipseCon deadlines or IP check intricacies. Also, not everyone is interested Marketplace updates.

Hence my question: Are there other sources of content (preferably in RSS form already) that you consider valuable to the average user of the Java EPP package?

Here’s what I have thought of so far:

• The Eclipse News feed shown in the Welcome view (under What’s New > Eclipse Community). It’s unfortunately not very exciting either.
• The @EclipseJavaIDE twitter account. Great content, but not easily converted into an RSS feed whose titles look good in the newsfeed plug-in.

Any other sources we could tap? Or is this feature in general not something you would like to see as part of the Java EPP package?

Best wishes,

Andreas
