I've opened a new bug [1] to specifically track changes to the
details page.
Suppressing source pages is a good idea. But it's not as big a
problem as you might think. The JSON file I gave you is the contents
of the repository. The packages themselves don't include everything
you see there. The list of features that are already on the details
pages (which includes very few "source" features) (e.g. [2]) will
just be translated into human readable form.
You'll see in comment 2 on the new bug, that I've already suggested
that we streamline the list of features in other ways.

Hi
Wayne,
I wonder if it would be possible (and make sense) to exclude the
*.source features from the resulting pages.
Cheers

Chris is still working on it. He'll let us
know when he has something to show us via Bug 404861 [1]. I'll
update that
bug with this information.
In the meantime, I've attached the JSON dump of the information
that Chris will be using to populate the page (generated
out of downloads/releases/kepler/201305100900/features/).
HTH,

Hi Wayne,
Can you provide a preview URL of the packages pages ?
That would greatly help understanding what the final thing
will look like, and how my feature’s text blends with other
feature’s text.
Thanks,
Martin

Greetings folks!
We're working on some updates to the packages pages. As part
of this, we're going to display actual feature
information rather than just a bunch of ids.
e.g on the "details" page for the Eclipse IDE for Java EE
Developers [1], instead of showing the feature id, "
org.eclipse.jdt", we'll show the feature label, "Eclipse Java
development tools (binary runtime and user documentation).".
We haven't quite decided yet, but we may try to work in the
description.
I've written a little script to extract this information
directly from the features as they exist in the Kepler
repository.
I've done a quick review, and have found a few misspelling and
some other odd things. Since this information is used
in other places, I think that it's pretty important to get it
right.
For example, the description for "Acceleo"
(org.eclipse.acceleo) is "Acceleo". I'm not sure that this
provides anybody
with a compelling reason to install this feature.
There are several features with descriptions that seem to
assume that the reader will know what it is based on the
project name (MoDisco, QVT, and some of the Mylyn subprojects
stand out). IMHO, these descriptions should give me a
reason to look into the project and find out more.
There are inconsistencies in format as well. Some are a few
words or a phrase, some are complete sentences, some are
short paragraphs, and some use bullets. I'm a
