Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-18813:
-------------------------------------

we used to only feature a subset of the quickstarts so that was easy. Now we need to access the whole 291 of it, and they're coming straight from http://www.jboss.org/developer-materials/#!sys_type=jbossdeveloper_quickstart

> 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.
