Please read if you're working on the Platform Tips&Trick and What's New
sections.

It would be best if you would edit the two existing files in the
repository:
/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tips/platform_tips.html
/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/whatsNew/platform_whatsnew.html
Put screenshots in corresponding images/ subdirectories.
Once all the platform teams have done their bit, I'll go in and copy edit,
add formatting, change font, etc.

Knut and I are planning on doing revisions for the Workbench for the Tips
and Tricks and What's New sections. However, we were not planning on
covering:
CVS/Team
Ant/External Tools
Help
We assumed the various component teams would do that and we thought it
would be easier to break out the section into categories now so that
multiple people can work on the section at one time.
I guess I am confused about what we are supposed to do. Simon called us
today and said for us to work on those sections per Kevin Haaland.
Jeem, if you are planning on pulling all of this together, can we just
send you information in raw form? By this I mean that
1 - we will not alter what is in the CVS repository
2 - we will send you non-html formatted information and assume
that you will incorporate it into the final doc

I'll look at categorizing the items once we have all the raw material. I
will make a complete pass through and do whatever makes sense. So don't
worry about categories for now. ---jeem

I'm OK with adding a few categories, e.g. for the components. Jeem,
what's your view on this?

Lynne and I discussed splitting the Tips&Tricks into multiple categories.
We have quite a few VCM tips so we should at least have a Team category in
addition to the existing Workbench category. On the other hand we should
avoid adding too many categories. JDT for example split it up too much I
think.
There's also some questionable Tips&Tricks. E.g., "Compare with" is a
pretty obvious feature and should probably go into What's new (if it
really is new).
Are you ok with adding more categories?
Knut
