Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Competition for improving the IDE

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is this a potential candidate as a "hard problem" that committers can work on together in the Hackathon at EclipseCon Europe?

Are there any existing bugs that we can use as "bugday" targets for contributors at the Hackathon?

Hi,

In the last release we had the Great bug initiative.

I think one great area for improvement would be the reduction of the startup time in the IDE.

Maybe the Eclipse foundation could make a competition for improving it? Accepted contributions could be ranked by improvement and the largest improvements would win the price.

For the measurement we have in platform a startup time test, which I think could be used for the measurement. Dani, what do you think?

If we would do this, we should get the buy-in from the involved projects. For platform Dani would have to say yes, for p2 Pascal, etc.

Best regards, Lars
