The mains features that we have shipped are
- XAML Editor & Preview with code hinting and code completion

The plug-in can be download in this page http://www.eclipse4sl.org/download/. Some Webdemos, tutorials and guides of best-practices can help you get started http://www.eclipse4sl.org/learn/
Migration to Eclipse Foundation is going forward positively. Eclipse Management Organization (EMO) has declared the project creation review successful. We will keep you informed on the progress.
From now, we’ll start to working on the Spring 2010 release. This release will primarily focus on improved Mac developer experience, Silverlight 3.0 design time support on Windows platform & extensibility. The upcoming version of Eclipsee4SL will also align with Eclipse Helios schedule.
Your feedback is very important for us to prioritize the features and schedule the development plan. Your contributions are welcome in the form of Bug/Feature request, User experience/Best-practice, Demo project, example sources, etc.
