• link to the installer setup
• nb of first issues
• ...

Describe the solution you'd like
Refered in the main contribution page, it should be displayed in a single table with link inside

Other idea

I think the reduced information is sufficient. But if that currently has the same information, i.e. the GitHub repo links multiple times.
Since the README is displayed very prominently on GH repos I would skip that column.

In the project column we could/should link the PMI entry. In case of platform it's
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.platform

And we should also consider that many Eclipse projects have more than one repository.
In case of eclipse-platform it's for example

• https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform
• https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui
• https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt

So we should maybe have sub-elements e.g.:

• eclipse-platform
  • https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform
  • https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui
  • https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt

Or maybe this can be also be made nicely in a table.

And instead of linking the raw setup we could also link the contributing section that has the 'Setup button':
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-contribute

Then the target would also be more appealing if one clicks it instead of just copying it.

[opcoach]

Yes this is good ideas. Projects and repositories must be distinguished.

I put a sample on my fork here : https://github.com/opcoach/.github/blob/update1/projects.md for some projects before adding the others
