see my comment above. I think there should be "some" screen shots
showing new UI available for the 1st time in this alpha release, e.g.
list grouping.
Where would you put this? On the readme. Keep in mind that some of the
UI will be "test UI". For instance, we will likely not have the search
box in the toolbar until alpha 3 but have a popup search dialog in the
interim for alpha 2. It doesn't make sense to show some temp UI that
probably won't look great anyhow. Perhaps the right approach will be
to evaluate this per release. For example, it may not be appropriate
to have screen shots in alpha 2 but maybe for alpha 3.
I'm not advocating that we include screenshots, etc, but the Eclipse
project does do this kind of thing. Here's an example
