No, that is not the correct solution. The EPP/main download side can have 
and advertise a joint N&N.

Hi Marcel, 

I think the correct solution would be to extend the purpose of the 
Platform N&N to include newsitems from the EPP side. 

Best regards, Lars

Greetings cross-projects,

I?d like to get your thoughts about a joint N&N page for Mars Milestones.

The platform maintains a N&N page [1] for changes on the Platform/JDT/PDE. 
All press releases, blogs and tweets about new milestones are pointing to 
this page and as such it is the most prominent place to present new 
features, what?s new and upcoming in Eclipse.

However, IMHO there are much more noteworthy things to talk about. For 
instance, the addition of the automated error reporting in all EPP 
packages is such a noteworthy item but it cannot be published on that page 
because it does not belong to the SDK. I guess many projects have 
interesting N&N as well. While larger projects with a community/ popular 
webpage will certainly write a blog post about their new features. Smaller 
ones with no prominent website or large community lack such a space. In 
addition, bloggers etc. will certainly not browse all project blogs to 
find all N&Ns. 

Thus I wonder whether we should have a joint N&N page for the whole 
release train where every participating project could put, say, up to 3 
items per Milestone release with a picture and a short paragraph (as the 
SDK already does).

What do others think?


Marcel



P.S.: FWIW, every EPP package download page *has* a N&N link in the side 
menu where EPP packages can add their N&N links. However, it?s not used 
much and likely is not very popular (at least I assume that b/c I noticed 
it the very first time today).
