Description Robert Elves CLA 2009-03-19 13:59:46 EDT
* Post updated Mylyn screenshot
* Add WikiText release link
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-03-21 21:16:31 EDT
I really liked the entry point of for OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/ . Particularly that they had a link for extensions (and developers) on the front page:

"I want to do more with my OpenOffice.org"

The same could make sense for Mylyn, e.g. point to a page with extensions supported by Member companies or committers and a link to the Extensions wiki page.

Wow, that's really slick.

Mylyn Screenshot updated.  David, which resource do you want to link to in the news?
Comment 4 David Green CLA 2009-04-07 13:56:58 EDT
Can you elaborate on your question?  It's not clear to me what you're asking.
Comment 5 Robert Elves CLA 2009-04-07 14:09:53 EDT
Sorry, at some point we'd talked bout linking to the WikiText release in the news section of the mylyn homepage (if I recall correctly).  If so, where would you like this to link to (blog, n&n, wiki)?

Rob: Afaik the thing that we decided is to update the paragraph description of the project to include WikiText, in order to help promote WikiText and to improve the overview of the project.  We should take a pass at redoing that paragraph before doing any additional linking or structural improvements to the page.  Let's discuss on Thursday's call.
Comment 8 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-05-14 02:03:47 EDT
Added link to Eclipse Corner Articles on developer site.
Comment 9 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-06-02 03:18:26 EDT
Also consider updating the download page:

Comment 10 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-07-23 17:28:36 EDT
Updated description for news group to (http://eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=tools.mylyn ):

User community discussions on Mylyn usage and troubleshooting. Developers extending Mylyn should refer to http://eclipse.org/mylyn/developers/.
Comment 11 Mik Kersten CLA 2009-07-23 17:49:07 EDT
Great.
Comment 12 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-07-27 15:48:24 EDT
* Added baseline section to developers page: http://eclipse.org/mylyn/developers/
Comment 13 Mik Kersten CLA 2009-07-28 19:19:52 EDT
Great.
Comment 14 Mik Kersten CLA 2009-09-28 15:42:50 EDT
Added Twitter feed for #mylyn to front page.
Comment 15 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-09-28 22:32:33 EDT
I find the twitter applet very distracting while it adds little value. In my opinion the screenshot is much more appealing and usually the first thing I look for when browsing a project site to get a quick sense what a tool is all about.

Is there a smaller twitter appliance that we can embed to restore the screenshot?

Thanks for the WikiText link.
Comment 17 Mik Kersten CLA 2009-09-30 15:40:38 EDT
David: No problem.  Anyone making significant contributions to Mylyn and tweeting about them can request a follow link there.

Steffen: I updated page to improve the layout, put back the screenshot, and shrink the Twitter widget.  While it does incur some distraction, Twitter has been demonstrated as a successful channel for community communcation around specific topics, OSS projects and otherwise.  Let's try it out for a while and see how it works.
Comment 18 Mik Kersten CLA 2011-02-25 16:38:38 EST
Stale.
