| [gmf-dev] "Is the Tooling Project Dead?" |
|
That's the question occured on the forum today:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/266835/ The main issue is that the website is not at all up-to-date. We (GMF Tooling committers) maintain the wiki and made it the primary source of information, but end-users are not aware of it and rely a lot on the not-up-to-date website. So that they think the project is dead. We need to do something on this topic. I think GMF looses at least one user a day because of the poor GMF website. There are several alternatives to improve that, including making GMF page just a portal to different sites, and having GMF Tooling maintaining its own website [1]. But in a first time, we could start by simply updating the website to avoid loosing users [2]. It seems like Anthony has other things to do so that he cannot maintain the GMF website anymore. Maybe we should start some elections to make all active committers able to edit the website? @Anthony, if you agree with it, please nominate at least Michael Golubev as a committer on the GMP project (as the GMFT lead), so that he'll be able to integrate patches to the website and maintain basic activity on it.
