ABSTRACT:

1) Release permanent Budget for: Open Source User Dedication / Representation
2) Add a user representative to the eclipse foundation board.
3) Release one-time Budget for: Independent Efficiency Management (Limited Time)
[...]

I did not got a response to this message, but I hope the eclipse foundation will detect at least the importancy of the first 2 steps.

Today [2nd Wednesday of December] should be the board-meeting, and I hope those topics - especially "Open Source User Dedication" and "User Representative" will be discussed there.

I have evaluated the eclipse foundation based on public available resources within eclipse.org (website, newsgroups, Issue Tracking System (bugzilla), mailing lists [slightly] ).

My preliminary draft summary:

[NEWCOMER] - Evaluation Summary: What is Eclipse NOT !

[...]

I've finalized my netBeans evaluation and will most possibly (99,9%) use eclipse for my personal projects.

NetBeans has some strenghts, which can easily adopted by eclipse.

I'm currently working on a case-study, which can serve as an templated for similar projects:

Will clarify all this shortly within the relevant threads (eclipse.foundation) whilst working further on the case-study, my website and some concrete suggestions to the eclipse project.
