i'll try join - but currently stuck in conflicting call ;/

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
