[eclipse.org-committers] Changes to the newsgroup and mailing list pages.
|
Hello.
This message is to inform all committers of upcoming changes to the
newsgroup and mailing list pages on the eclipse.org website. With the
move to the new design these pages will become more data driven which
will result in a new option for you all.
At this time the descriptions of the various newsgroups and mailing
lists are statically set and you must send in a request to us for it to
be changed. The update will allow each individual project to change
it's description paragraph at will.
What will you need to do in order to use this feature? That's easy, in
the new 'project-info' directory that you have created in the top level
of your web sites just insert two plain text files named 'newsgroup' and
'maillist'. The format of these files is the same and follows the
following format:
::name::description
::name::description
So and example of a newsgroup entry for say the BPEL newsgroup would be:
::eclipse.technology.bpel-designer::The <a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/bpel">BPEL Designer Editor project</a> will
add comprehensive support to Eclipse for the definition, editing,
deploying, testing, and debugging of WS-BPEL processes (Business Process
Execution Language for Web Services) in vendor neutral environments. The
implementation will be extensible to third-party vendors so that runtime
implementations could integrate seamlessly to the
design/build/deploy/test cycle and integrate specific domain WS-BPEL
constructs and extension.
You can add as many newsgroups or mailing lists as you like, as long as
each entry has the same format.
Each time the newsgroup or mailing list pages are requested the software
checks to see if these files exist, and if they do then the contents are
loaded into the page. If the files cannot be found then the newsgroups
and mailing lists for that project will not be included on the
respective web pages.
These changes will go into effect for the news pages on the 30th of
December
If you have any questions about these changes contact contact me.
