| RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse platform milestone hard to find |
Martin, this is a good point - EPP has a very similar problem: How do we find enough people who test our packages before we call them 'stable'. Maybe we can create one single html page that references both, Eclipse Platform builds AND EPP package builds? And this page could be linked to a more prominent place. What do you think about this?

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? Martin
