|
Who was there: Donald, Wayne, Bjorn, Susan, Nathan, Denis, Ian
1. Q3 wrap-up
108785 Denis Link to "documentation" in navigation bar: Will close as
WONTFIX because it links from the homepage

p... -> deferred to Q4
131994 Donald Foundation FAQ out of date -> deferred to Q4
134441 Susan suggestion for improved "access forbidden" error page ->
done, needs to be implemented on the server
All other Q3 issues have been resolved.
2. Q4 Items (please use 2006-Q4 as the "target milestone"):
Ian, Nathan: complete the Pillars
Nathan, Wayne: document the Phoenix development environment (assuming PHP5)
Don: to open bug about better Membership pages, and update the
"planet/universe/feeds" strategy
Bjorn: to open RFC bug for user-friendly Projects pages
Also, the following kind committers have agreed to take care of the
following issues for Q4
119189 iCal resource for Eclipse events (nathan)
120397 List of update site mirrors should be LTR (denis)
125940 Migrate dev.eclipse.org to Phoenix (ViewCVS, others) (denis)
126675 Horizontal tabs don't scale well (nathan)
133026 Eclipse Foundation News Items launch in new browser (Nathan)
137751 Newsfeed for technical Articles (Wayne)
140389 Projects roadmap newsgroup/mailing list - not a link (bjorn)
143145 Starter Orientation Section (New to Eclipse?) (Ian)
3. Homepage Beta feedback
Nathan resumed the feedback so far, and we agreed that:
- we need to unclutter the page by removing "+" signs, useless arrows,
lines and some background fades that make the page look too busy
- although the Lazarus skin is nice, switching to it for the home page
involves risk. The Phoenix skin is now widely accepted, whereas Lazarus
has not been scrutinized by the community
- Nathan doesn't like the purple we use on our site, but he was silenced
appropriately.
If we assume the current beta home page is RC1, Nathan will implement
some community-suggested fixes and produce an RC2. We'll do another
round of feedback for RC2 (displaying RC2 to 50% of our visitors,
compared to 25% now). The new home page should be live by the end of
next week, after the RC2 feedback has been factored in.
