[jbosstools-dev] Question values of news in Red Hat Central page

[Mickael Istria]

Hi all,

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:
* 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
* Space is lost where we could use it to make simpler UI/UX and give 
more assistance to users
* 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.
* 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.

Do we have metrics of how often are the news link currently clicked in 
JBoss Tools/JBDS ?
