Just Noticed This in the Force.com IDE re: Sites - November 5, 2008 at 7:14 pm

So it’s post Dreamforce 08 — awesome.  Love DF, love getting home from DF. 

On the flight, I noticed something interesting: if you cruise into Eclipse, the plugins directory, where you have the Force.com IDE, you’ll see a "com.salesforce.ide.documentation.[a bunch of numbers]".  If you look in there, you’ll see a directory called "platform_labs", and if you look in there you’ll see a fair amount of info re: Force.com Sites.

All of which was released on 10/27/2008, several days before THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

Note to self: look for hidden goodies in the next release of the IDE.
