All,
Attached is a consolidate view of the
current voting for the Themes and Priorities. Jochen, Eric, Todd
and Howard you have still not voted. If you could do so it would be
great; below are the Themes and the “rules”. If you do not
plan on voting, can you please let us know.
Thanks
Ian

Themes and Priorities
All,
Based on last Thursday’s call, I took the action item
to draft a proposed set of Themes and Priorities. Based on this
strawman people can provide feedback on prioritization of the items. If
you think I have missed something, please feel free to add it.
I'd like to stress that this is a high-level document, not
meant to provide specific agreement on implementation details. At
this time I think we should focus on the high-level themes, not the actual
implementation. I have also tried to attach a measurable metric to each
theme, so we can understand what success is?
I believe the next steps are for people to provide feedback
on the priorities. I would suggest that for each theme you rank it
+1, -1 or 0. +1 means you think it needs to be implemented in the next 6
months; -1 means it does not need to be implemented in the next 6 months; and 0
means if we have time and resources, lets try to implement
it. To make the process more challenging, I would suggest that each
person can only use four +1 votes.
High-level Themes and Priorities
1. Theme: Improve Usability for users of EPIC to make it
easier to find/search plug-ins and relevant information
Goal: Should be able to go from the home page to a specific
plug-in in two clicks.
2. Theme: Re-design home page to provide more emphasis on
plug-ins
Goal: Emphasis of home page should be less news and forum
focus and more on content (ie. plug-ins and services)
3. Theme: Add services/training component to EPIC
Goal: Have 10 services/education providers listed on EPIC by
end of 2006
4. Theme: Increase visibility of Member plug-ins
Goal: Raise the level of visibility/awareness of plug-ins
that are from member companies. This should lead to additional traffic
for member plug-ins and additional members listing their plug-ins
5. Theme: Increase number of plug-ins / Provide view of
plug-ins from multiple sources
Goal: By end of Q1 2007 EPIC should have 900 plug-ins listed
6. Theme: Add organization view to EPIC
Goal: Add the ability to view EPIC content by
organization. Currently you can only view by plug-in listing.
7. Theme: Make it easier to use EPIC with the Eclipse update
manager
Goal: Provide a listing of update sites that are related to
the plug-ins listed on EPIC
8. Theme: Encourage other contributions to EPIC from other
community members
Goal: Have new individuals contributing resources that
extend the capabilities of EPIC
NOTE: I would suggest we include things like Job Posting, Speaker Center and Partner Program items listed
on the wiki
9. Theme: Increase traffic to EPIC
Goal: Increase traffic to EPIC by 20% by the end of 2006
10. Theme: Outreach Programs
Goal: EPIC would enable the creation of topical communities
who desire to form a community, network with other individuals of similar
interest and values.
