0. I've created a Kudos page on the Wiki so that we can aggregate the kind words and the pats-on-the-back the community send you. http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Kudos


1. Build teams: Powerful new server for you (117052)

We've setup build.eclipse.org, a powerful 4-CPU IBM megabox for you. Why?
- we want to offer you a powerful environment to perform complex stuff that requires horsepower like, but not limited to, builds and testing - to minimize the bandwidth related to building - pulling CVS, building, then uploading a drop over the Net

This box may not provide any value to you. Please review https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=117052 before proceeding.



2. Downloads by topic[1], newsgroups by topic[2]

We want to make it easier for users to find tools according to their interests. Nose to the wind, I came up with five topics (categories). Please add your project(s) to the appropriate categories by using Committer Tools [3], or suggest new categories by reopening [4]

[1] http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index_topic.php
[2] http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/index_topic.php
[3] https://dev.eclipse.org/committers/
[4] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114505



3. Quotas, groups, disk space

I added a list of groups you're in, as well as disk space used and quotas to the Committer Tools menu. It's updated hourly.

As always, there are only disk quotas on the downloads section, to keep our downloads footprint as small as possible for our mirror sites. There are no quotas on your CVS, website, or anything else.



4. Non-committers should not be able to set Target Milestone (118201)

Please comment on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118201



5. Top 10 downloads contains stale data (112529)

Although useful to most, the top-10 downloads on the main downloads page is subjective, inaccurate, hard to maintain and often controversial. I want to remove it altogether.

Please comment on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=112529



6. Test Bugzilla before upgrades (118523)

Upgrading Bugzilla often breaks something you used to love. For future upgrades, I'd appreciate it if someone on each project can actually test the sandboxed Bugzilla I set up.

7. The Committers' mailing list is archived in the Committer Tools if you need to access old information.


Thanks for your usual co-operation!

Denis
