Page: Eclipse downloads by project

There are inconsistencies in using abbreviations and full project names.

Links to some projects are shown as "Abbreviation - Full Project Name" (e.g. GEF - Graphical Editor Framework).

Some projects have full name shown (e.g. Graphical Modeling Framework, Eclipse Model Framework Technology), others just abbreviation (e.g. EMF).

I would expect that projects that use abbreviations on their project home page are shown as "Abbreviation - Full Project Name" on Downloads page.

Anne, what do you think about this?

I'm going to close this as wontfix.  Projects are responsible for their project name as it appears on the various pages.  Although the EMO could enforce strict naming conventions, I don't think there's really a big need to do so.  It would be nice, but so far nothing that seems to be mandatory.
