Please put them in the Wiki so we can all have a look and give some
comments to make sure we know what we agree on.

While we're at it, everyone should probably have a look at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/New_Commmitter_Handbook
for some gentle introduction into Eclipse's view of the world.

Documentation: Don't forget to add some explanations *why* we want
something. So:

----------------------------------
Repos:

.../release Release repo
.../release Nightly
...
----------------------------------

is bad. Users can see the repos on Nexus. Don't repeat boring stuff.
People ask questions. Like "Which one should I use? Why did they do it
this way? Why didn't they put everything in a single repo?" So try:

----------------------------------
Repos:

.../release Release repo
.../release Nightly
...

Explanation:

The release repo is for official releases only (like Helios a.k.a
3.6.0). If you want stable, go there.

The milestone repo is a bit less stable. You can find the regular
milestone builds here (link to timetable?). Use it if you need a pretty
stable and pretty current version.

...

----------------------------------

Maybe link to a page which explains what a "Nightly", ... build really is.
