Catherine Robson commented on JBIDE-18813:
------------------------------------------

[~fbricon] Do we have some more detail about the customizable central requirement?  What request did this come from?  What types of customization are users looking for?  I could think of many possibilities off the top of my head... hide/show sections, customize what types of projects are shown based on their normal development needs, turn on/off early access, favorite capabilities for projects and quickstarts (shown in first mockup) etc.  Some more context might help me design something that matches what user's are really looking for as an improvement here.

> Central Page requires new capabilities :
> - needs more customization (display content depending on user preferences)
> - needs to scale with JBDS-IS, Fuse content
> - access to more examples, with filtering capabilities
> Given that the existing page is pretty hard to maintain and suffers from scalability/UI bugs, we're heading towards an HTML5 approach : 
> - use an embedded SWT Browser widget (or Java FX), depending on the platform compatibility
> - webpage and its content could be served remotely (as zip), and downloaded locally for offline use. this would give us more flexibility to update the content.
