John,
I really like the idea of including links
to the demos in the readme. I would also suggest that you reference your
very excellent e4 white paper.

I completely
agree with you - I think that will be a common reaction. It's hard to get a
sense for what's in there by just looking at something that looks roughly like
the Eclipse 3.5 SDK. Most of the interesting stuff in e4 is in the end
"plumbing"... it's like we ripped up the roads, replaced all the
aging pipes and wires with brand new infrastructure, and then put the road back
in place. The various sample applications do a better job of demonstrating
what's different about e4, so including information about running the demos is
a good idea.

I
think the readme also needs some different content for people getting
started with e4. I'm sure all you guys will be
blogging about that but
it would be better to include this in the readme.
I tried out the RC of the SDK recently and I did
not have any idea what
to do with it. I remember the great demos from
EclipseCon, the features
like Flash, Dojo and Silverlight support, the
demos. How can I explore
these when I have the SDK installed?
Well, a welcome screen, cheatsheets would be even
better...
I would not have felt that much lost if I had a
readme that tells me
where to look for the exciting things. Like:
import project
e4.demo.something into the workspace and launch
it.
My experience was disappointing (sorry for saying
that). I simply
deleted the SDK and probably missed a lot.
Frank.
