When creating a project web site based on the Nova templates you will periodically get this automatic email: * Project home page (projecturl = http://www.eclipse.org/objectteams/) does not have an "About <project>","About This Project" or "Information about <project>" link. Projects are required to provide that standard link on their home page (see http://www.eclipse.org/projects/standard-link-on-home-page.php) . The 'About' link should point to this URL: http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=tools.objectteams Some projects have worked around this issue by tweaking the navigation bar which initially links to various top-level pages from www.eclipse.org to pointing to project specific pages. This however seems wrong because those links will overlap with the big buttons labeled "Download", "Support", "Documentation", "Getting Involved" and it will be impossible to navigate to any pages from www.eclipse.org outside the project. (Examples: Xtext, b3, jgit) If all projects are required to have an "About" link on their homepage their should be a uniform way of doing this which should be part of the template. Additionally, specifically for the Object Teams the reverse link from the project summary to the project home page is not shown, although the project_url is correctly set in the project's meta data.
Wayne, this sounds like an EMO process type issue. Do we still require these links? -M.
I believe we do. Yes.
Ok, I thought so. I've just added the 'standard' about link to the 'default' page. For reference here is the code: <p> Want to know more? <a href="/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=my.project">About This Project</a> </p> -M.
