[news.eclipse.technology.eep] Some ideas and some questions

Hi,

1. Sponsorship for Example Applications
---------------------------------------
What do you think about sponsor ships for Example-Applications.

For sponsors of an "Example Application" there would be e.g. the benefit 
to be displayed in the Splash-Screen of the application, their logo 
visible next to the application on the webpage, ... . For devlopers 
working on those project get they'd get some fund.

I haven't thought about the details and this was just a crazy idea I had 
last night. Does the Eclipse Foundation allow this kind of thing?

If not the projects at all want to do this but it is allowed by the 
Foundation? I think there should be rules to follow if there's not a 
general policy. I don't want to see applications all over full with 
company icons.

2. Packagenames
---------------
What are the packages used? Do they have to belong to the eclipse space 
(org.eclipse.eep....) or can one use a custom one (e.g. 
at.bestsolution....)?

3. Build-System
---------------
Does EEP provide the ability to that your Application gets build 
automatically. I admit the I have never worked with the 
Eclipse-Buildsystem my own but from what I have heard setting up an 
pde-headless build isn't very is and with all this submission stuff it 
would get fairly complex. I listened to the Buckminster-Project and 
maybe this can be used?

4. Webpage:
-----------
Does every application get a page where it hosts its screenshot?
