Hello all,

AFAIK, code-folding recently appeared in dev builds of NB
(correct ?).  In my experience, this is something a lot of
  people have been waiting for, for a long time, and is pretty
cool to have!  So why aren't we promoting it for new visitors ?
There's no way I can see that someone coming to the site can
see "wow - code folding is here at last! I'm going to download
it and try it out!"

How about :

- a news item on the community page with some info, maybe
   including which builds to see it in (Q-builds ?  Any
   current dev ?);

- screenshots ?  An editor window showing some "folded"
   code ?

Just an idea.  I don't know much about it so I would rather
not attempt to write it myself ... if anyone knows more, and
agrees, please feel free to add a news item at :

    http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ProjectNewsAdd

If you can, take a screenshot or 2 and mail them to me directly
rather than to the list, I'll put them up on the site.
