Bug 358962

Comment 1 Wayne Beaton 2011-09-26 16:08:59 EDT

I've added a section titled "Communication" that lists forums and mailing lists (if any are specified).

I put forums first to encourage users to prefer forums over mailing lists. I've also added some text under the mailing lists to further encourage users to look to the forums.

Does that work?

Not too bad. I would replace "intended" with "reserved" and change the intro to "Project developers use the following mailing lists:".


The icing on the cake would be a formatting adjustment such that the intro text is closer to the list item (and/or the second intro text has a bigger top margin).

Currently it looks like this for me (Firefox):

Communication
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project uses the following forums:

    eclipse.tools.jdt (main)
This project uses the following mailing lists:

    jdt-ui-dev (main)
Note that -dev and -pmc lists are intended for project-related communications among project developers.

The descriptions come from the project metadata. You can change that.

Sure

Yup. Noticed that. The CSS needs some adjustment.

Some projects use mailing lists for outward communication (in place of forums)

Do we have any of those snazzy Tango icons for the Communications and Code sections?  Something that ties into http://www.eclipse.org/users/ and other pages?

Looks great otherwise.

I wasn't doing icons in the main content area. I'll mark you down as a 'yes' vote in the event that we consider adding them.

I'm going to declare victory. Marking as FIXED. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wrong: You didn't mark the bug as fixed! Marking as FIXED... ;-)
