Why not have them "pull" any
background technical information rather than trying to "push" something
that's bound to be incomplete when it should just be one sentence. So
what about this:
e4 is the community effort for
building the next generation of the Eclipse Platform. For any details,
see the e4 project proposal
[1].
Of course we should eventually prepare
something on the web or the wiki that's more current but still as
informative as the project proposal. But for now, I still find the
proposal most appropriate for persons seeking a higher-level
understanding of e4.

At a recent board meeting we had a discussion about e4 and what it
means to the Eclipse membership. The results were quite mixed with
widely differing opinions and thoughts. One thing that did come out
was the idea of polling the membership for some feedback. Mike Taylor,
an elected Solution Provider director on the board volunteered to poll
the Solution Providers on this topic and has set about creating a
survey. As part of this there should be a description of e4. I'll
quote Mike on this.
"I had seen the e4 description on the wiki page, but
didn't find it satisfying for the purposes of this survey. This survey
will go to the contact (often a "business" person) who is the
designated EMO contact point for a particular Solution Provider
company. Its primary intent is to get a high-level feeling for what
people know and think about e4 right now. Its not really designed to be
a technical or feature survey."
It would be great if as a community we can provide a brief (one
paragraph) description of e4. Something a bit deeper than "the next
generation of Eclipse" but a bit shallower than what's on the wiki.
This is a really good opportunity to raise awareness of e4 and
simultaneously get valuable feedback and input.
