already (Code Recommenders doesn't, for example). Maybe it's worth
documenting progress (and prodding projects for support) in a way
similar to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_9_Readiness?

Documentation is here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tip_of_the_Day

 

In addition to document progress somewhere. Can you also document a way that would allow crowdsourcing tips? Deferring it to just the projects seems like a limited approach. For example, the best tips I see on Twitter come from an account run by very enthusiastic volunteers but not the projects.

Yes, the framework was build with this in mind. Tips can be served from a json file that can be maintained independent from the installation. The current set of Java tips we have are harvested from Twitter.

The process I have already tested is this:

1. Maintain a github repo that contains a json file with TipProviders (e.g. recommenders, mylyn, etc..)

    Each provider also maintains a json file with Tips

2. Accept pull requests from people wanting to add their TipProvider and Tips

3. Create a Jenkins job that puts these files on downloads.eclipse.org
