Re: [platform-ui-dev] Changing the About dialog

Yes, please comment in the platform UI bug for general layout/extensibility issues with the about dialog.
If you are more interested in commenting on the proposed changes in the p2 workflow:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=236740
discusses the need to reorganize the software updates dialog, button layout, etc...

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224472
discusses how we present more detail for p2 install info

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216031
discusses presenting the revert history as an additional view

I'll update the wiki page to include refs to all these bugs.

Subject: Re: [platform-ui-dev] Changing the About dialog


Huh, I could have sworn there was a bug report mentioned in that wiki  
page.  Comments on the workflow in particular should go on the wiki  
while comments on the extensibility of the about dialog in particular  
can go on
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=246875
