Oomph Installer page (used on CONTRIBUTING.md) still referes to Eclipse Wiki #123

On our CONTRIBUTING.md has link to:

https://www.eclipse.org/setups/installer/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/master/oomph/PlatformSDKConfiguration.setup&show=true

On that page we see this: "Please read the tutorial instructions for more details." Thank links to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Platform_SDK_Provisioning

Where should this tutorial be move to before the Eclipse Wiki is shut down?

@merks: What do you think?

That page is actually an "Oomph" wiki page with the Platform's configuration just being the biggest and best example of how Oomph can be used to provision a very large and complex project. All the other project Configurations generally point at this same tutorial...

I am hoping to migrate Oomph itself to github right after 2023-06 winds down and before 2023-09 kicks in. Migrating Oomph's wiki content off the wiki is a much longer term goal!

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Oomph

So I would suggest not to consider this as something that needs to be addressed by the platform but rather as something that needs to be addressed by Oomph. When that's completed, I will ensure that all the Configurations point at the wiki page point at the new improved location. And then I'll hope there are folks with experience for how to relatively-easily migrate the existing wiki content. (I sure don't look forward to a lot of such work.)

Yes sure. I just did not know a better place to address this.
