Phoenix
{{#eclipseproject:technology.phoenix}} Project Phoenix improves the usability of the eclipse.org site.
Official project site: http://www.eclipse.org/phoenix/.
Contents
Themes for 2007
Ease of Use / usability
Work still needs to be done here, especially on the Projects pages and on some project pages. We also agreed to provide more assistance to our projects for web design
EclipseLive
Target for end of January. Design team to work with IT in getting it on the eclipse.org servers. Authentication to be against the Bugzilla database.
Standard development environment
Wayne and Nathan agreed to come up with a Xampp solution so that every Phoenix committer can have a standard dev environment, databases and all.
Cooler look
We agreed to invest time modernizing the visual appearance of the Phoenix skin.
Reliability
We agreed that some of the most visible pages need a backup committer who can care for them should the owner be unavailable. To that extent, we agreed on the following backups:
- Home page: Nathan owner, Denis backup. Matt can also be a backup should the need be.
- EPIC: Nathan owner, Matt backup
- downloads pages: Denis owner, Karl backup.
- Resources: Wayne owner, Nathan backup
Common look & feel across the site
We agreed that in 2007, all projects will be required to adopt the Phoenix look as resolved by the Board. Nathan will be available to assist projects in moving their pages, and Mike will take care of notifying the community about the web page guidelines in early January.
Committer Portal
We agreed that dev.eclipse.org could become a Committer Portal.
Project Info Database
We have developed a database for projects to maintain there meta-data. The following page describes the database and how to use it.
