Description
Alexander Nyßen
OK, project plan issues have been completely resolved now as part of #311008. What remains is the creation of the New And Noteworthy document for 3.6. We used this for 3.5 : http://www.eclipse.org/gef/newandnoteworthy/gef-news-35m4.html . See Bug 254096 Yes, something like this would be fine for 3.6, too. Yet I do not think we would have to provide one especially for M6. I think one document for the 3.6 release would be fine as a start. Currently there is an iconified link next to the 3.6 project plan link on the project info page (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=tools.gef), which points to http://www.eclipse.org/projects/planned and results in a 404 (File Not Found). Maybe you could create some initial document so we have this one fixed. I could then support with adding some initial contents (maybe something about the ghost image feature and the clipping w.r.t. viewport). BTW, do I have write-access to the web-repo as well? We released 3.6 M7 today so moving unresolved bugs to 3.6 RC1. We need to re-access if we can complete these for Helios. This is not going to be looked at today, so moving off the RC1 target milestone. Created attachment 169235 [details]
Refactoring of web-project to create clean base for NewAndNoteworthy
I investigated the GEF web project to which extend new and noteworthy files are present. After some searching I found two, namely
-/highlights30.html, referencing images within /images
-/newandnoteworthy/gef-news-35m4.html, referencing images within /newandnoteworthy/images
I think it would be a good idea to move them both into /newandnoteworthy and to establish a decent naming convention there, so creation of further documents of this kind would be easier.
I have attached a .zip file (patch is not possible, as the images would not be contained) that realizes a proposed refactoring (I renamed both files to a common convention, made them use the same styles, and embedded their images in local folders under /newandnoteworthy respectively).
I will provide an initial New-And-Noteworthy-3.6 document to address those things I have contributed to this release (clipping strategy, ghost image feedback) as a starting point. Created attachment 169423 [details]
Archive containing the refactored and augmented newandnoteworthy folder of the www-gef project
I have created a .zip file, which contains the refactored and augmented newandnoteworthy folder for the www/gef project.
That is, it bundles the refactored New and Noteworthy documents for 3.0 and 3.5 as well as the initially created one for 3.6 (you may add/modify as you wish). If you replace the existing newandnoteworthy folder with the contents of this archive, the following files can be removed from the web project, because they were moved into the archive contents:
/highlights30.html
/images/centered-resize.gif
/images/cpy.gif
/images/flyout-context-menu.gif
/images/flyout-hidden.gif
/images/geometry.gif
/images/grid.gif
/images/guide-drag.gif
/images/matchSize.gif
/images/palette-stack.gif
/images/propertySheet.gif
/images/rulers-guides.gif
/images/rulers-menu.jpg
/images/shortestPaths.gif
Re-scheduled to 3.6RC3. As a New And Noteworthy document in the form of a web page would be quite hard to maintain (as we are a quite diverse project), I have alternatively set up a New And Noteworthy page in the GEF wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF_New_and_Noteworthy), as it is done by the GMF project as well. Anthony, could you please make sure the NewAndNoteworthy document I created in the wiki is linked on the GEF main web page and on the project summary page http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=tools.gef (a broken link pointing to the planned web folder can be found on the right side, next to the project plan link)? I think this one could be closed then. Updated the new and noteworthy on the project summary page. We are good to resolve this now. |
