Today, I'd like to talk about some of the separate streams of
development that we have going right now.

The Eclipse Foundation has engaged with UX experts to review the initial
user experience with Eclipse. This includes the website, download, and
installation process. Ideally, we'd like to look at the Welcome page as
well, but I'm pretty sure that we don't have the resources right now to
actually implement any changes.
Pascal is working on code changes and tests to various parts of Eclipse
(p2, launcher, tycho) including changing the Mac layout and packaging as
a .dmg file. It would be great if Pascal can elaborate on the call.
I need to engage the UX experts on the Oomph Installer. At this point, I
don't believe that there have been any significant changes in Oomph. I
am concerned that some of the the project descriptions (e.g. targets)
have gotten stale. Keeping these up to date is a challenge that we need
to address.
The "profiles" work that we've been investigating is an extension to the
Oomph notion of packages and configurations. A profile is a higher level
concept that combines the package definition with the workspace
configuration. The idea is to make it possible for users to snapshot and
share their profiles. This also includes the ability to capture and
share preferences. I'm not happy with the term "profile" as it suggests
personal information (e.g. Facebook profile), but we haven't come up
with an alternative. We've decided to defer profiles, as there just
isn't enough time for Mars.
Buildship (Gradle) CQs have been created and we're waiting on project
code. I have expected that "any day now" for about two weeks. I remain
cautiously optimistic that we'll see the code soon and get builds into
Mars shortly.
Other ongoing work.
Thanks,
Wayne
