3.7

The Samples page of Intro contains a small number of samples which are not well maintained, are unsigned and rely on the PDE Samples framework. If we could replace the samples mechanism with a page which used P2 it would be easier to keep the samples up to date.

Note that the PDE samples framework does use p2 to install.  However, the process is still convoluted and has much room for improvement.  I updated the title to reflect this.

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
