Re: [epp-dev] Package Config Files : New and Noteworthy 
I tried to collect that data for the CPP package and already updated it in CVS 
(and manually on the download area).


  <MoreInfo>
  <NewAndNoteworthy
    
url="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M1-200708091105/eclipse-news-M1.html";
    project="Eclipse Platform M1" />
...
  <NewAndNoteworthy
  <NewAndNoteworthy
    url="http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn50";
    project="Eclipse CDT" />
  <NewAndNoteworthy
    url="http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/new/";
    project="Eclipse Mylyn" />
  </MoreInfo>

But there are many problems: Some projects have such a page, other have not. 
The Eclipse Platform team has one URL for every milestone (not RC, because 
these should not add functionality).

In the above example, I added an element for every N&N of the platform, but I 
am not sure if this is the way to go. Any thoughts?
