Funny enough i'm not really following what you mean with "said openly and with exact additional steps" ? You want someone from eclipse.org to say "The Eclipse process might be perceived as heavy and not for everyone - but that is OK." ?

Okey but you said it is somehow missing on eclipse.org so i'm just wondering where you have been looking ?

Here is first hits I get when searching eclipse.org github: http://wiki.eclipse.org/GitHub searching on the wiki gives you details on how you hook up the CLA check: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Social_Coding/Hosting_a_Project_at_GitHub and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources explains it too. and finally the most central page on this is probably http://wiki.eclipse.org/Social_Coding What is the page/info you feel are missing in the above ? I think the problem you are seeing is a perception problem and that eclipse.org actually have gone a long way since many years ago. Yes, there is still a process, and yes it is heavy at times when you need to check your dependencies are actually clean - but in day to day work it is really not different than any other project.
