It's time once again to put together the New and Noteworthy for our latest milestone. The place holders for M2 are in the web site repository and you can browse the in-progress version at http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/news/3.3M2/ . As usual, if a project doesn't have anything written up when I go to update our news feed, I'll just comment out their link to it from the overview page. Given the rapid pace with which we've delivered 3.2.1 and now 3.2.2, I won't expect a great deal to be written up for M2.
To set your workspace up to edit your project's contents, Committers should connect to the web site CVS repository at :extssh:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/org.eclipse and either check out the contents of the /www/webtools folder, or just the folder for this milestone at /www/webtools/development/news/3.3M2. Like the rest of our Indigo-ized web site, we use a PHP-based XSL transformation on the XML contents to generate our web pages. The transform means we're not all editing individual web pages directly, helping us keep a consistent layout. Opening the XML files locally in a web browser will allow you to see them in a rendered form, albeit without the Indigo styling. The pages themselves are loosely organized around groups of projects, but that's always subject to being changed if Committers decide so. So, for any new Committers, what goes into a New & Noteworthy? Simply put: additions that users will see, and hopefully, be delighted with. Screenshots are a must . Showing the diversity of the platforms we all work on is fine, but be mindful to crop images them so the final resultant page fits in the display resolutions our users would have. API additions or changes, significant version number updates, and especially migration information should instead be recorded in a yet-to-be-created "New Help for Old Friends" document. As always, if there are any questions, let me know.
