Description Anne Jacko CLA 2008-11-05 18:05:33 EST
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #252805 +++

Must have new & noteworthy for each milestone. Must be something readable and usable not just a static list of all the bugs, e.g. platform. Corollary: individual new & noteworthy should be linked in to the collective New & Noteworthy.

Ian created a new and noteworthy for M4 based on the format the Eclipse platform team uses.

I tweaked a little, added the platform's stylesheet and committed to CVS.

The files are under /cvsroot/org.eclipse/ + www/gef

/gef/newandnoteworthy/gef-news-35m4.html

They are on the web at http://www.eclipse.org/gef/newandnoteworthy/gef-news-35m4.html

Hey Ian, now that we have reached feature freeze, we should look at updating the new and noteworthy and get this content into the Eclipse help (just like the platform).

Great Idea!. I have finished a small features that I don't want to release into M6 (since we already spun the IBuild, and my luck with builds is not very good).  I will be putting in next weeks IBuild.  

We can then work on the N&N.  If you are at EclipseCon we can always start it in the bar :)

Hi Ian, what feature is this, I cannot find the Bugzilla for it.

We need to close on the new & noteworthy for this week before M7.

Likely the fact that we have a new & noteworthy is sufficient for this release.

I am going to resolve this as fixed so that the Galileo report indicates we have made a first pass at a N&N and delivered the must-do. What we have delivered is at the same level as EMF (a list of bugs) and GMF (a wiki page).

We still have time to elaborate the GEF N&N further before the release since there are no code changes.
