[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18813?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13046378#comment-13046378 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-18813:
---------------------------------------------

+1 on extra metadata/tags. This fits the idea of being able to mark which are to be promoted and be able to categorize them.

I'm not that keen on having it in the readme.md if that means they are "stuck" and we can not move/change them easily after their release; but if updates are fairly easy to do then it seem like a pragmatic approach.

> 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.
