It would have been nice for the planning council to give a more specific
recommendation for the plugin "provider name". I'm worried we'll end
up with a real mixed bag of naming conventions that will look unpolished when
mixed together (inconsistent in capitalization, etc). For what it's worth, we
ended up using "Eclipse.org - Equinox" for the Equinox project.
Having "Eclipse" in there still seemed valuable for end users who
might not be familiar with Eclipse project code names. If an end user sees
"Data Tools Platform" as the provider, I'm not sure they will make
the connection to an Eclipse project by that name...

Question about the Branding requirement for
Galileo
|
|
Hi all...
Was running through the list of requirements for Galileo and we're down to the Branding
must-do requirement for Galileo in DTP. After chatting with David Williams a
bit yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to bounce these questions to the
cross projects list to see if anyone had any suggestions. :)
The "Branding" requirement states: "Each major project (as determined by participating
PMCs) should have an About dialog icon with descriptive text (e.g. provider name = "Eclipse Modeling Project" and not
simply Eclipse.org) and contribute to the welcome page."
To address this requirement, we're going to follow the example provided in the
description and change "Eclipse.org" to "Data Tools
Platform" for all of the DTP plug-ins and features as the provider name.
Easy enough.
However, none of us in DTP are graphic artists (by any stretch of the
imagination), so we're hoping we can continue to use the same icon used by the
Eclipse Platform for our About dialog icon in Galileo. (That is unless someone
on the list has some graphic design, some time, and a fantastic idea for a
custom DTP icon. :) ) Though lame, using the older icon should address the
requirement and we can try and find a graphic designer in the next release to
update our look and give it a stylish new icon.
The final part of the requirement is to contribute to the welcome page. I'm
guessing this is the general platform welcome page, since DTP also has its own
welcome page that comes up sometimes. (I'm not exactly sure of what the rules
are about why/how that page appears sometimes and not others, but I'm guessing
there's a pattern there I'm just not seeing.) That said, we would like to
contribute to the main welcome page if DTP is installed, but have no idea how
to do that.
David mentioned that there are some "easy to use" extension points,
but I'm curious if it's been documented what exactly we're supposed to
contribute to meet this requirement and how we're supposed to do that. Any
ideas, links, suggestions, and so on would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
