Michael,
We're glad you agree that being cool is the most important part of the
Eclipse committer culture.
As Nick mentioned, we have a separate CVS repo for websites that gets
published to www.eclipse.org directly. Just open a bug, like the one
below[1], and tell us for which project you want this. This repository
allows you to be even more cool by using stuff like PHP.
Just so we're clear, we have no problems with you linking to README
files or plugin docs directly in CVS with ViewCVS. We just want to
replace the project-home static websites with real ones :)

Denis,
I wouldn't want ot be uncool. Can
you
provide a link that describes how to transition web pages from viewCVS
to the new infrastructure. Also, is there a way to forward the viewCVS
URLs to the new location? Some of our links are published in help doc
so
we need to be able to forward them if we move the content.
Thanks

Greetings committers! In this issue:
1. [NEW] Download stats redesigned
2. [INFO] ViewCVS web sites on dev.eclipse.org
3. [INFO] Callisto release train
4. [NEW] Bugzilla bugs fixed by Mozilla
1. [NEW] Download stats redesigned
===================================
The Live Download Stats[1] have been redesigned. Among the improvements:
- Faster. Much much faster. You don't need to defer results to e-mail
anymore.
- Older download records are preserved. The current solution should
scale beyond 300,000,000 download records (about 1 year), depending on
the queries you run.
- Group downloads by country! We only started tracking this on Feb
21,
so downloads prior to that will be in the Unknown country. Results are
much more reliable on ZIP files fetched with download.php than on JARs.
- More default date ranges: All, Today, yesterday, Last 7 Days, Last 30
days
TIPS for fast results:
----------------------
- the number of files matched by your file name is the #1 factor. More
files = more time. Narrow your search to a specific file or version.
Sometimes, a single "core" JAR or ZIP is enough to represent
one
download/installation of your project. Search for it specifically.
- Searching through Last 30 Days is actually the slowest date range.
Even All is faster, as it bypasses the need to group by dates. Last 7
days is quite snappy, as is Yesterday and Today.

2. [INFO] ViewCVS web sites on dev.eclipse.org
==============================================
A few projects still use ViewCVS to display their web pages. ViewCVS is
a horrendous resource hog that, when abused, can bring a server to its
knees. Although we approve of using ViewCVS for pulling files out of
CVS
dynamically, we seriously frown on using it for static web pages.
Anyone
still using ViewCVS beyond January 2007 will officially be considered
uncool by the Webmaster.
3. [INFO] Callisto release train
================================
Lots of discussion is going on regarding the upcoming Callisto release
train. We WebMasters are working hard to ensure our infrastructure can
hold up to the demands of this grandiose event. You can read up on
some
of the Callisto information using these links:

4. [NEW] Bugzilla bugs fixed by Mozilla
========================================
There was a bug in Bugzilla 2.20 that caused Bugzilla to be
ridiculously
slow on some occasions. Since 2.20.1 has been installed, I haven't
witnessed this problem.
Details on the bug are here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=117344
Future Bugzilla upgrades should be sandboxed, and you should test them:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118523
Thanks for reading. If you have any questions or concerns about the
eclipse.org infrastructure, how to use the servers, download stats,
PHP,
CVS or any other service, please do not hesitate to ask us.
Denis
