I have nothing yet from the UX folks. I'm expecting something later
this week.

Wayne, do you have any document or screenshot resulting from the
discussion with the UX group that could be shared in advance of
the meeting?

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.
We've the UX experts on the Oomph Installer. Eike and--with help
from Yatta--put some serious UX work into the installer. Eike
presented it to the UX folks last week. I am concerned that some
of the the project descriptions (e.g. targets) in the Oomph
repository have gotten stale. Keeping these up to date is a
challenge that we (collectively) 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 have code. The
Planning Council has rejected their inclusion in Mars. We've
engaged to Tools PMC to attempt an appeal. Any ideas you might
have are welcome.
I'd like to talk a bit about the composition of the "Eclipse
Project" Marketplace.
