==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  [http://projects.eclipse.org/build-technology/tycho Tycho], or [https://projects.eclipse.org/build-technology/maven Maven]. The description and project logo are used here.
* Projects participating in the [https://projects.eclipse.org/releases/kepler 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.
