[wtp-dev] Please ready the New & Noteworthy for M4

[Nitin Dahyabhai <nitind@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It's time again to put together the New
and Noteworthy for our newest milestone.  The place holders for M4
are in the web site repository and you can browse the in-progress version
at http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/news/3.3M4/
.  As usual, if a project doesn't have anything written up when I
go to update our news feed, I'll just comment out their link to it from
the overview page.  Let's try an have this ready by the status call
on the 9th.

To set your workspace up to edit your
project's contents, Committers should connect to the web site CVS repository
at :extssh:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/org.eclipse and either check out the
contents of the /www/webtools folder, or just the folder for this milestone
in /www/webtools/development/news/3.3M4.  Like the rest of our Indigo-ized
web site, we use a PHP-based XSL transformation on the XML contents to
generate our web pages.  The transform means we're not all editing
individual web pages directly, helping us keep a consistent layout.  
Opening the XML files locally in a web browser will allow you to see them
in a rendered form, minus the Indigo styling.  The pages themselves
are loosely organized around groups of projects, but that's always changeable
if desired.

Remember: good content for the New and
Noteworthy includes additions that users will see, and hopefully, be delighted
with. Screenshots are a must.  Showing the diversity of the platforms
we all work on is fine, but be mindful to crop images them so the final
resultant page fits in the display resolutions our users would have.  API
additions or changes, significant version number updates, and especially
migration information should instead be recorded in a yet-to-be-created
"New Help for Old Friends" document.  As always, if there
are any questions, let me know.

Thanks all,
