Why not have them "pull" any background technical information rather
than trying to "push" something that's bound to be incomplete when it
should just be one sentence. So what about this:
e4 is the community effort for building the next generation of the
Eclipse Platform. For any details, see the e4 project proposal
<http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/e4/> [1].
[1] http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/e4/
Of course we should eventually prepare something on the web or the wiki
that's more current but still as informative as the project proposal.
But for now, I still find the proposal most appropriate for persons
seeking a higher-level understanding of e4.

Subject: [e4-dev] e4 Survey
At a recent board meeting we had a discussion about e4 and what
it means to the Eclipse membership. The results were quite mixed with
widely differing opinions and thoughts. One thing that did come out was
the idea of polling the membership for some feedback. Mike Taylor, an
elected Solution Provider director on the board volunteered to poll the
Solution Providers on this topic and has set about creating a survey.
As part of this there should be a description of e4. I'll quote Mike on
this.
"I had seen the e4 description on the wiki page, but
didn't find it satisfying for the purposes of this survey. This survey
will go to the contact (often a "business" person) who is the designated
EMO contact point for a particular Solution Provider company. Its
primary intent is to get a high-level feeling for what people know and
think about e4 right now. Its not really designed to be a technical or
feature survey."
It would be great if as a community we can provide a brief (one
paragraph) description of e4. Something a bit deeper than "the next
generation of Eclipse" but a bit shallower than what's on the wiki.
This is a really good opportunity to raise awareness of e4 and
simultaneously get valuable feedback and input.
Jeff
