I think about this:
On welcome screen special button with for ex text: “Extend your PHP IDE” After click on it, widget/window will be opened with simple (but user friendly) plugin browser (categories, tags etc). On each plugin lead will be two buttons: Read more (open full market place info), Install (start install process)
But how, where and by who data for this widget should be stored and collected I have no idea:
Option 1: Probably as XML stored somewhere in eclipse infrastructure (in appropriate git repo?). Would be nice to read as many as we can information directly from marketplace (stars, description, comments
Option 2: Use appropriate list of tags/categories/special markets and read all informations from marketplace (example tags: PHP, _javascript_, CSS, HTML). But in this model, we will be without control on content.

Yes, there is a number of plugins, which are not
hosted at eclipse.org and hence
not included in the EPP package that can really enhance the
experience of PHP developers.
It would be great if we can somehow promote them on the
Welcome screen. If we have them all registered at the Eclipse
Marketplace, perhaps it will be possible to make them easily
discovered from the PHP EPP package.
Eclipse Foundation tdoes not prohibit (and even encourages)
promoting Eclipse extensions (both open-source or proprietary) as
long as all parties are treated equally (a.k.a. vendor
neutrality).
Dawid, Jacek, do you have an opinion how such promotion can be
designed in the EPP package?
