Re: [geclipse-dev] welcome page after g-Eclipse installation
|
Hi
g-Eclipse already has contributions to the welcome page.
It has:
- an icon at the overview page which opens the documentation,
- an icon at the tutorials page which opens the g-Eclipse cheat sheet
overview,
- an icon at the what's new page which opens the what's new page in the
documentation
The documentation pages however don't contain too much information right
now...
