They will sell advertisements for the
catalog. I am sure you or Mark will get a call. J

ACM Queue
Sounds great! How would ACM get paid...or don't they care?
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
