[cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse platform milestone hard to find

[Martin Aeschlimann <martin_aeschlimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I realized that the download for the
latest Eclipse platform milestone (for example 3.4 M2) is really hard to
find.

The download link 'http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/'
will not help you, all you find are links to the Europe downloads.

What you have to do is to go on 'Projects'
'Eclipse Project' 'Eclipse Platform' to click on the download icon.
I think this is almost impossible to
find.

I think its really important to propagate
the platform milestone builds better.
- We depend on users testing and giving
feedback on the latest
- We need to keep users interested in
Eclipse. The milestone 'new and noteworthy' document serves that purpose.
We spend considerable time on creating
the 'new and noteworthy'. If it stays as hidden as now, I wonder if its
worth the effort.

-> Put a link to a new 'new and noteworthy'
to the news ticker
-> Put a link to the latest milestone
on the main download page. Explain who should use it and how.

The download packages are great to have.
Maybe they can also be offered by milestone?
