Description John Arthorne

2010-01-05 11:16:24 EST

eclipse.org has landing pages for each of the simultaneous releases:

http://eclipse.org/callisto/
http://eclipse.org/europa/
http://eclipse.org/ganymede/
http://eclipse.org/galileo/

For a casual visitor that gets directed to one of these pages, it's not clear that the first three pages are for *old* releases rather than the most current release. For example the text on the Europa page says, "This year, the annual release includes 21 projects". It's not clear that "This year" refers to 2007 rather than 2010. To help avoid confusion, I'd like to request two things:

1) That the release year be displayed prominently on each of these pages. For example change the first sentence, "Eclipse Europa is the annual release of Eclipse projects", to "Eclipse Europa is the annual release of Eclipse projects for 2007".

2) For Callisto/Europa/Ganymede pages, provide a link to the next release, or to an index page listing the releases for each year (something like http://wiki.eclipse.org/Simultaneous_Release). I.e., provide a link so that someone arriving here looking for the *newest* release can find it easily.

+1 from me, and I will offer to take a whack at fixing this bug, unless there are any objections?

+1 as well


I've added years and a link to the wiki page on simultaneous releases.
I'll also make sure this information is included with the Helios Release pages.
