| Looks like committers favor a tray icon the eclipse workbench window. I’ll take a look how to implement it and send a screenshot to the list.

-1 for the system tray. It's not going to look good when there are 2-3 Eclipse instances up. I'd rather see the Eclipse status bar being used - or maybe some other widget in the Eclipse window.Torkild13. feb. 2015 kl. 10.55 skrev Daniel Megert <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>:

Do you mean the OS system tray or the Eclipse status bar?

I agree 100% but shouldn't we at least try to make sure we are using what we have today? If we create a new shiny channel, it is not clear we will actually use it.
I didn't have in mind to create another channel with dedicated content/governance and so on, but more to make usual channels (Foundation news, project news, PlanetEclipse and others) visible inside the IDE through RSS.
As you said this already exists for the Foundation news, it seems to be mainly a matter of rethinking where and when user would like to see such news. What about showing those news as notifications just like Facebook or Google+ do with some red icon when there is new content to read? It seems to be a good compromise between high visibility and low intrusion.
Excellent. I am all for getting the Foundation news feed included in as many places as possible. :-)
This sounds like a general +1 for putting feed content into the IDE. Sources can be any RSS feed. This certainly needs some kind of UI to allow users manage feeds and some not-so-much intrusive way to notify them about news. This is the next interesting discussion.
The tip of the day proposal already got some - 1. Mylyn style notification popups may also be a bit too intrusive IMHO.
I was thinking about a system tray icon, or toolbar item - only visible when there are news.
Is there a big -1 for using the system tray?
