[eclipse.org-planning-council] Re: What's the meaning of "Popular Projects" in the download page?
|
Yossi, Ken, (and everyone),
To answer both your questions...
Does anyone know what's the meaning of "Popular Projects" in
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/? It doesn't include JDT so it's
> obviously not that most downloadable projects.
The Popular Projects is my little heaven of controversy that I like to
hang onto for purely masochist purposes.
You can read about the why and the how on this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122529#c17
Essentially, it's based on the popularity of the project home page. The
Eclipse project's projects rarely score very high, as no one seems to go
to their project pages.

Agh, I just know you'll beat me up for this, but .. here goes. I make
them up. The project names are very long and don't fit well inside the
small space, so I pretend like I'm smart and abridge the name a little.
I know it lacks consistency etc etc but it just looks so much better than:
4. Model
Development
Tools (MDT)

Feel free to post comments on the above bug.
