John,
I really like the idea of including links to the demos in the readme. I would also suggest that you reference your very excellent e4 white paper. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Arthorne Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 9:49 AM To: E4 Project developer mailing list Subject: Re: [e4-dev] e4 0.9 readme > My experience was disappointing (sorry for saying that).

It's hard to get a sense for what's in there by just looking at something that looks roughly like the Eclipse 3.5 SDK. Most of the interesting stuff in e4 is in the end "plumbing"... it's like we ripped up the roads, replaced all the aging pipes and wires with brand new infrastructure, and then put the road back in place. The various sample applications do a better job of demonstrating what's different about e4, so including information about running the demos is a good idea.

I'm sure all you guys will be blogging about that but it would be better to include this in the readme. I tried out the RC of the SDK recently and I did not have any idea what to do with it. I remember the great demos from EclipseCon, the features like Flash, Dojo and Silverlight support, the demos. How can I explore these when I have the SDK installed? Well, a welcome screen, cheatsheets would be even better... I would not have felt that much lost if I had a readme that tells me where to look for the exciting things. Like: import project e4.demo.something into the workspace and launch it. My experience was disappointing (sorry for saying that). I simply deleted the SDK and probably missed a lot. Frank.
