Description emmanuel 2001-06-11 21:00:23 UTC
Could a NB features list be made available please.

Such a list will enable users or potential users of NB to see what NB has to 
offer.

This is in progress.

Tim, any updates ?

Tim, any updates ?  Leaving the priority high here, as this was an 
old issue before Emmanuel reported it, 4 months ago.  If you are not
able to complete this, can you help transition whatever you have to
someone new, or suggest some other method of getting this doc/data ?

Emmanuel, you are probably already aware of the "New Features"
lists on the site, not quite what you are after, but perhaps
interesting :

Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2001-10-30 10:43:11 UTC
The right way to do this long-term in a scalable way is for each
module to have a features document in XML, and generate the features
list.  We should have a base list of categories, and the generated
HTML should list by category (and annotate with what module the
feature is from), e.g.:

<feature id="JavaSyntaxColoring" firstversion="1.0"
category="Editing">
   <title>Java Syntax Coloring</title>
   <desc>Font coloring of Java keywords and syntax in the Source
Editor</desc>
   <module>Editor</module>
   </feature>
<feature id="XEmacsIntegration" firstversion="3.4" category="Editing">
   <title>XEmacs integration</title>
   <desc>Use XEmacs instead of the IDE's internal source editor</desc>
   <module>ExternalEditor</module>
   </feature>

Manual maintenance of such a document is not something anybody should
take on.

Sounds great; pls keep this issue updated, I'd like to use a similar
technique to catalogue docs all over the module websites.
