<p>Hi all,<br>
</p>
As I'm reading the PDD, I've seen multiple occurence where Red Hat
Central is meant to show news inside the Desktop IDE. I question the
value of for several reasons:<br>
* As I'm opening a code editor, I most likely want to code, and
don't want to be disturbed by news. It's not the right time for me
to read them<br>
* Space is lost where we could use it to make simpler UI/UX and give
more assistance to users<br>
* Typically, I expect news by mail or social media and that's all
and enough, and maybe even already too much. When I want to read
news, I go through the one I get via this channel and I don't feel
the need for more.<br>
* Showing news in tools is pretty unusual. Most apps (web browsers,
mail/IM clients, image manipulation software...) don't do it and it
doesn't prevent them to be successful.<br>
<br>
Do we have metrics of how often are the news link currently clicked
in JBoss Tools/JBDS ?<br>
