Good morning,
I have looked at it, and pondered somewhat about it.
Your proposal seems to delete text which is definitely +1.
The other comments are perhaps better addressed after the release.
On the other hand, there is still a lot of room to improve. Instead of trying to describe it all at
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.escet why not make 2-3 line header there, and have a bunch of links to other pages, where one of them (the first one) is the advertorial
high-level feature page describing why using the project is a good idea, that is, how it helps you making controllers faster / more reliable / more flexible.
The "Governance" tab points at https://www.eclipse.org/escet/ as web resource, which is beyond horrible as a "welcome" web-page. While I can fully understand how the page came into existence, I think this should
change. I don't know who reads "Governance" though.
In the "Contact us" tab, the forum link leads to an empty page, but that is perhaps outside our influence.

Hi all,
I've updated our project's metadata. You can see the result at https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.escet,
by checking out the various tabs on that page. I've added references to for instance our developer documentation, which is now online.
What remains is the description on the first page. It is outdated as it refers to CIF as the only modeling language. We also have Chi. I propose to shorten the description as well, as other projects typically have much shorter descriptions. If it is too long,
people won't read it. We can refer to the website for more information. I propose to change the description on the first tab to the following:
"""
The Eclipse Supervisory Control Engineering Toolkit (Eclipse ESCET™) project provides a toolkit for the development of supervisory controllers in the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) paradigm.
High-tech companies increasingly adopt the MBSE paradigm. The use of (formal) models for controller design allows validation and verification of controllers long before they are implemented and integrated into the system. Early validation and verification
have been shown to lead to less defects and reduced costs.
The Eclipse ESCET project provides a toolkit for the development of supervisory controllers. The toolkit has a strong focus on model-based design, supervisory controller synthesis, and industrial applicability, for example to cyber-physical systems. The
toolkit supports the entire development process of (supervisory) controllers, from modeling, supervisory controller synthesis, simulation-based validation and visualization, and formal verification, to real-time testing and implementation.
For more information, visit the
Eclipse ESCET website.

Let me know what you think.
Dennis
