Phoenix - more than just a pretty face
Project Phoenix is about more than just putting a new face on www.eclipse.org. One of our design goals is to improve usability and access to information.
The Eclipse WebMaster “owns” very little content on the www.eclipse.org website, but we do own a popular section: the main downloads page. In doing our part to improve usability, I’ve created a Downloads By Topic page in our sandbox. I’ve received many e-mails stating that, unless you’re familiar with the project structure at Eclipse, finding downloads you’re interested in was difficult. This should make it easier by grouping downloads according to a topic, such as Programming Languages, Editors, and Application Development.
The entire page is data-driven. Although the topics are managed by us (WebMaster), committers are free to add projects in any number of topics as they see fit using the Committer Tools site.
I’d like to limit the number of topics to seven. I currently drafted five, and I put a few projects in each topic. Those in the know can suggest generic topics by using this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114505
