Looks good!

My comments:
With  these pages, it states to
download the eclipse SDK.  On the existing Callisto page 
http://www.eclipse.org/callisto/discovery.php,
it states to download the platform runtime and run update against the Callisto
update site to get the other features. Which is correct?  Also, today
we are only providing runtime features to the Callisto update site.

There should be a link to the page that
describes how to use update manager to install the Callisto features.  This
will alleviate a lot of newbie questions for people new to eclipse or unfamiliar
with running update manager. 

The link to the JVMs page should point
to the 3.2 page when it is available. 

I agree with Pascal's statement regarding
managing expectations.  Although Callisto is targeted to vendors consuming
eclipse, it will appeal to the broader user community.  I would expect
more integration with the next year's simultaneous release but we should
not try to raise expectations so that a regular user or journalists look
to Callisto to provide a integrated product and are disappointed.

Subject	[cross-project-issues-dev] Getting started page

Hey folks. We've been putting some thought into some
"getting started"
information for the Callisto landing page. What we're thinking is that
we'll
include the three fancy graphics on this page:

http://eclipse.org/callisto/getstarted.php

Onto the landing page.

So...

I'm curious to learn how you feel about this page. Is it a good idea? Does
it come close to providing what folks need? Do you like the format? Is
the
way it works more or less obvious?

Feedback and comments welcome.

I know that the C/C++ page doesn't exist yet. That's next (assuming enough
of you like what's there so far).

And, I need a good concise (i.e. one sentence) description of DataTools.

Thanks,

Wayne
