Dropdown should be on mouseover and mouseout

Scalac development in the IDE

This page is superseded by that one. The former should be folded therein.

In the download page we should add a Requirements section

We need to make more prominent the fact that the Scala IDE only supports Eclipse 3.6 and that 3.7 support is experimental. And also make clear that JDk 5 and JDK 6 work, while we have issues JDK 7.

The 'Downloads' on our website are not downloads

People not familiar with Eclipse (the majority of trainees) do not understand what 'update site means' means. Yet 3 out of 4 options on our website's Download dropdown are update sites, which, confusingly, are not properly 'Downloads'

Nighties page should be re-ordered

This is how I would re-structure it:

Get the Development Version!

[text]

Scala IDE Version 2.1, Nightly

[Feature boxes](remove the "Improvements Coming to the 2.1 Release" title)

[Update sites]

Scala IDE Version 2.0.x, Nightly

[text]

[Update sites]

Also, should the page be renamed to nighties.html?

The 'update site' keywords confuse the hell out of people

People not familiar with Eclipse (the majority of trainees) do not understand what 'update site' means. Nowhere in our page do we explain we're built on Eclipse, and the update site's way of doing things is unclear.

reported by Will, Jamie, Ryan at the eng. meeting "Architectures in the wild"

We point people at update-sites as opposed to a streamlined bundle

The p2 upgrade experience is hard to manage (cf. compatibility issues we're seeing reported weekly on the MLs) yet we're pushing people towards our update-sites rather than our more easily useable, better-integrated bundle (which is not released on all flavors we distribute).

Download link button should allow text selection

This is urgent. It should be possible to select the text in the download link.

Team page out of date

The team page should be updated.
http://scala-ide.org/team.html

twitter frame breaks the URLs

(This issue was reported in the scala-ide issue tracker, I'm copying its content here as it will get more visibility)

at right side of scala-ide.org there is a twitter frame.
each tweets is subscribed by "original tweet by XXXXXXX" line, where XXXXXXX should be link to the tweet author.

That XXXXX link should be pointing to the twitter page or if possible even extract web-site URL from twitter account.

However all the tweets i see are linked to "undefined" instead

Have a "google on site" widget

To ease search in the website (or maybe just in the doc?) it would be nice to have a "google on site" widget.

Google "prettyprint" syntax highlighting in Documentation section

Update "team" page

I would like update some information on this page and in docs.

As a starter I took a look at "Team" page: http://scala-ide.org/team.html - this info is obviously out of date.

I plan to split team into Current Team and Previous contributors. In current team I would include active developers: Iulian, Simon, Wiesław (I'll add him), Luc, Mirco and Mirko. Rest will be moved into separate paragraph.

@dragos Is that ok for you?

In the Downloads pages, Download section should be renamed Update Site

Eclipse terminology for the Download link is "Update Site", so we should use that as it is meaningful for Eclipse users.

Use full workspace screenshot somewhere

I created a full workspace screenshot for an article. It was not used, but it exists.

I tried to find a place to put it, but I didn't come up with anything. It's best place might have been in the blog post. Too late now.

There is a whole screenshot, and a thumbnail version of it. There are currently in https://github.com/scala-ide/docs/tree/master/resources/screenshots .

If somebody has a good idea.

Remove double title in Documentation Section

http://scala-ide.org/ is down

Blog entries should be on the right, not bottom

Blog entries should be on the right, not bottom.

Video in homepage should be as big as the left box

It looks to me that the video is slightly smaller (in height) that the left box. Also, I would remove the arrow from the left box (i.e., it should be a rectangle, no need to have the arrow style)

Add location of the zipped update site in each download section

Several people have been asking the URL for zipped update site. We used to provide this information in the old website, but it has been removed during the migration to the new website.

My suggestion is to add it right below the box containing the URL of the update site, with a smaller font (11px, instead of standard 13px that is used in the website).

Clicking Features link should automatically expand all features

You should not need to click on the "More Features" link, if you click on the "Features" header element.

Breadcrumb

Navigation is difficult in the doc, it would be nice to have a top breadcrumb.

The 'bundle' keyword confuses the hell out of people

People not familiar with Eclipse (the majority of trainees) do not understand what 'bundle' means. Nowhere in our page do we explain we're built on Eclipse, and the streamlined bundle's contents are unclear.

reported by Will, Jamie, Ryan at the eng. meeting "Architectures in the wild"

RSS feed for the blog

We should have an RSS feed for the blog.

js TOC in Documentation Section

Source Generators have no icon

Moving scala-ide/docs#52 to proper repo.

Go there:
http://scala-ide.org/index.html#features
click on "More features"
-> the last such revealed feature has no snippet image.

Share access to this repo.

It was restricted while we worked hard on having a first version, but we need to open it up. If for nothing else, to make sure that somebody is available if something needs to be done fast.

I think it takes a different commitment than the other repos.

Same rules as for the main repo apply.

Remove outline from top menu bar

When clicking on the elements in the top menu bar, an white dotted outline is created. IMO, we should remove it.

The sensible line is in bootstrap.css:

a:focus{outline:thin dotted;}
