Description Denis Roy CLA 2012-02-09 10:18:11 EST 
We almost have as many views as we do jobs.  What is John's view and My View???

Apache only has five views -- A-F, All, G-L, M-R, S-Z

As we know, storing and rendering these views costs time and memory.

I had no idea views I created were visible to anyone else. Please feel free to delete "John's view". Maybe you have already done it because I don't see it today. I thought of this as analogous to saving a custom bugzilla query.

What about having one view per top-level project?
Comment 3 Denis Roy CLA 2012-03-15 15:03:34 EDT 
I've removed a few views, and IMO what is there now is reasonable.  I think one view per top-level is the way to go.
Comment 4 Bouchet Stéphane CLA 2012-08-30 09:57:16 EDT 
Hi,

After reading this blog entry [1], hudson default views need some removal again.

Please remove 'EEF', 'Obeo', 'Papyrus', 'Graphiti', 'My Jobs' and 'stardust' that are all presenting the same jobs. ( EEF, EMF Comapre, ATL ... )

I really do not know where they come from...
Comment 5 Denis Roy CLA 2012-08-30 10:44:54 EDT 
I removed those views.

I guess any committer is free to create views that stick to the home page...

Permissions for views (create/delete/configure) are separate from other permissions... Perhaps those shouldn't be given to every committer. It would be best for projects to use My Views feature and/or link to individual jobs from project website. Given the scope covered by eclipse.org hudson, allowing public views to be created doesn't scale.

Yep, you're right, and it was granted to ROLE_COMMON.  I've removed that.  Thanks for the tip.
Comment 8 Denis Roy CLA 2012-08-30 15:31:28 EDT 
I'll close this as fixed
