Re: [cdt-dev] CDT docs missing in Eclipse Juno Infocenter

My 2 cents: giving people misinformation is more damaging  than giving them no information.

 

If a CDT user sees no Juno docs and he resorts to Indigo docs, the docs possibly being out of date is implicit. Users who find docs in Juno probably would not assume they’re outdated.

 

If the delta is missing information on new features/API, OK…that’s mostly harmless. If the delta is changes in existing features/API, that’s bad. There’s nothing more frustrating than taking the time to read and understand something only to find out it’s no longer applicable or correct.

I think it should be uploaded. There are more complaints about the doc not being there than complaints about it being outdated. I update them when I change something but at some point we'll have to go back and add the missing stuff.

Well,

 

As I just notice the message from 20-Oct-2012 here on the list,

I’m not going to contribute CDT docs to Juno when the CDT committer team

isn’t convinced uploading those docs is a good thing.

 

Thanks,

Martin

Hi,

 

I just noticed that CDT docs are missing in the Eclipse Juno Infocenter:

http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp

 

Looks like CDT missed the initiative here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=379598

 

When the same happened to WTP, they tracked it with a bug, asking webmaster to pull the right plugins:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388164

 

 

Thanks,

Martin
