At a recent board meeting we had a discussion about e4 and what it
means to the Eclipse membership. The results were quite mixed with
widely differing opinions and thoughts. One thing that did come out
was the idea of polling the membership for some feedback. Mike Taylor,
an elected Solution Provider director on the board volunteered to poll
the Solution Providers on this topic and has set about creating a
survey. As part of this there should be a description of e4. I'll
quote Mike on this.
"I had seen the e4 description on the wiki page, but didn't
find it satisfying for the purposes of this survey. This survey will go
to the contact (often a "business" person) who is the designated EMO
contact point for a particular Solution Provider company. Its primary
intent is to get a high-level feeling for what people know and think
about e4 right now. Its not really designed to be a technical or
feature survey."
It would be great if as a community we can provide a brief (one
paragraph) description of e4. Something a bit deeper than "the next
generation of Eclipse" but a bit shallower than what's on the wiki.
This is a really good opportunity to raise awareness of e4 and
simultaneously get valuable feedback and input.
