Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2010-05-17 09:20:45 EDT
In order to help track what is going on at eclipselab and raise the visibility of some projects, it would be good if there could be a few RSS feeds. The two ones I can think of at the moment are:
- newly created project
- new release of a project made available.

If you subscribe to the committers list in your RSS reader, you'll see them. Anne sends out all the announcements of new projects to this list

Sorry, I didn't see "eclipse labs" in the original request. I just read "new eclipse project" :-)
Comment 3 Nathan Gervais CLA 2010-05-17 09:55:30 EDT
We definetly have plans for this.  We're just waiting on the right APIs to become available.

We definitely want to get more exposure to the Eclipse Labs projects and am open to ideas.   As Nathan stated, the api isn't available yet but I hope in the next couple of weeks it will.

A couple of ideas:
- we have an automated blog post to PlanetEclipse that list new projects.
- we try to integrated the new rss feed into the eclipse.org home page.
- I'd like to encourage projects to list Eclipse Labs project based on a certain tag.  For instance, the EclipseRT project could list the Eclipse Labs projects on their web site based on the EclipseRT tag.
- I'd like to be able to create a composite p2 repo of all the Eclipse Labs projects.  Ideally that repo would be made part of the release train?  

Other ideas?

  Not a big fan of this. This will spam too many ppl.

  I like this one better. I think there is a place to separate new projects from released. For example at Apache there is a ML for each.

 +1

  I did not want to ask, but since you propose :) Though I think that a market place like presentation is likely to be more effective than a gigantic repo.
  In any case, repo or market place, the categorization will be one of importance. How is this going to be drive?. We should probably discuss that in another bug though.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
