Use the Generated Content for Your Project Home Page
If you want to use this page as your project home page, change the contents of your project's index.php file to:
<?php
header("Location: http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/your.project.id");
?>
(with an appropriate substitution of your.project.id, e.g. technology.egit, of course).
Note that the automatically-generated pages will continue to grow, change, and be updated.
Where is Project Metadata Used
Project metadata is used in a few different places today, and usage will continue to expand. Below are a few examples.
- Projects using Tycho, or Maven. The description and project logo are used here.
- Projects participating in the Kepler simultaneous release. We'll add a page that includes descriptions, logos, links to the project plan, and maybe contact information.
The project description is used in a lot of different places. Keep your project description concise; it is a means by which you can encourage people to take a closer look at your project; do not try to describe every little nuance of your project in the description. Note that you can separate out a summary of your description that will be used in lieu of the longer form which will be displayed on the project page.
