[phoenix-epic-dev] Re: ACM Queue
Sounds like a great idea. 
 
Would also suggest that they also offer 1/4, 1/2 and full-page adds for people that would like to give their feature a bigger splash.  Exactly what you would find in a yellow book; free listings in specific categories and paid adds sprinkled throughout. 
 
ACM can broadcast an email to all registered listings at EPIC asking people to only respond if they don't want their plug-in listed. 
 
Lastly, they need to pay forward in this initiative by providing information about plug-ins not listed at EPIC.  The collaborative process can produce a healthy long-term relationship between ACM, EPIC and the Eclipse Community.   We can cross the exclusivity hurdle later when it becomes a good problem to have.

Subject: ACM Queue

ACM Queue publishes a developer tool catalog on the web site and once a year as a supplement.   They would like to develop an Eclipse catalog to complement their .Net catalog.   Last year they were not overly successful in attracting Eclipse organizations to add their products to their catalog.  My impression is that most Eclipse organizations were just tired of submitting content to different catalogs.

 

I meet with the people from Queue last week at Eclipse World.  I suggested to them that they might consider taking the content of EPIC and re-hosting it as the content for their Eclipse catalog.   They seemed very open to doing that.   It would essentially allow them to have a robust Eclipse catalog, provide more exposure to the plug-ins listed in EPIC and make it easier for member companies to only have to update one repository.   In fact, I would hope this would encourage more member companies to submit their listings.

 

Are people okay with going forward with this approach?  I believe it is a win-win for everyone and it is a good step forward in being a central repository for Eclipse specific info.   If I don’t hear any disagreement, I will put things in motion with Queue.

 

Thanks

Ian
