Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] status of the help center
Hi Stephan, Please see my comments embedded below.

Will https://help.eclipse.org be updated with content for 2024-03?

It should be - it is normally done right before release, but after SimRel is built. 

 

If so, also https://www.eclipse.org/documentation/ needs a refresh (already one
release behind).

Not sure who does that - it isn't on the release checklist above. I suspect the Eclipse webdev team takes care of it, along with updates to similar pages (like  https://eclipseide.org/). I have raised https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/4368 to track this issue where we can discuss further with the webdev team who normally supports our efforts in this area.
 

Also I'd like to know the schedule of such update, because a N&N entry of mine
(web version) wants to link into javadoc that should eventually be available
from the help center. This means it would be nice, if the link can be set
*before* the release.

I have had the same annoyance in the past with not being able to link to the latest help until the release week. See this discussion https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/505 where we previously discussed publishing helpcentre info before release.

Note that there is a background discussion to remove the generated Javadoc from the help https://github.com/eclipse-platform/.github/discussions/108
 

Bonus question: I seem to recall that there was generic syntax so that the same
content works within help in the IDE as well as in the web version. Anyone know?
Or am I dreaming? :)

Don't know on this one.
 

thanks
Stephan
