RE: [cross-project-issues-dev] Question about theBranding requirement for Galileo
|
Some time last year, there was a recommendation to
use
Eclipse DSDP Project
Eclipse DTP Project
Eclipse CDT Project
...
but now we have
Eclipse.org - Equinox
I agree with John that a clear naming convention would be
good.
Cheers,

Question about the Branding requirement

It would have been nice for the planning council to
give a more specific recommendation for the plugin "provider name". I'm
worried we'll end up with a real mixed bag of naming conventions that will
look unpolished when mixed together (inconsistent in capitalization, etc). For
what it's worth, we ended up using "Eclipse.org - Equinox" for the Equinox
project. Having "Eclipse" in there still seemed valuable for end users who
might not be familiar with Eclipse project code names. If an end user sees
"Data Tools Platform" as the provider, I'm not sure they will make the
connection to an Eclipse project by that name...

Question about the Branding requirement
for Galileo |
|
Hi
all...
Was
running through the list of requirements for Galileo and we're down to the
Branding must-do requirement for Galileo in DTP. After chatting with David
Williams a bit yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to bounce these questions
to the cross projects list to see if anyone had any suggestions.
:)
The
"Branding" requirement states: "Each
major project (as determined by participating PMCs) should have an About
dialog icon with descriptive text (e.g. provider name =
"Eclipse Modeling Project" and not simply Eclipse.org) and contribute to the
welcome page."
To address this requirement, we're going to
follow the example provided in the description and change "Eclipse.org" to
"Data Tools Platform" for all of the DTP plug-ins and features as the provider
name. Easy enough.
However, none of us in DTP are graphic artists (by any stretch
of the imagination), so we're hoping we can continue to use the same icon used
by the Eclipse Platform for our About dialog icon in Galileo. (That is unless
someone on the list has some graphic design, some time, and a fantastic idea
for a custom DTP icon. :) ) Though lame, using the older icon should address
the requirement and we can try and find a graphic designer in the next release
to update our look and give it a stylish new icon.
The final part of the requirement
is to contribute to the welcome page. I'm guessing this is the general
platform welcome page, since DTP also has its own welcome page that comes up
sometimes. (I'm not exactly sure of what the rules are about why/how that page
appears sometimes and not others, but I'm guessing there's a pattern there I'm
just not seeing.) That said, we would like to contribute to the main welcome
page if DTP is installed, but have no idea how to do that.
David mentioned that there are
some "easy to use" extension points, but I'm curious if it's been documented
what exactly we're supposed to contribute to meet this requirement and how
we're supposed to do that. Any ideas, links, suggestions, and so on would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
