| The Enablement project is intended to provide specialized support built on DTP core extension points and API. |
| Enablement members can use the full range of these or any subset they see fit to provide specialized support for |
| their particular data source. In general the PMC expects to see contributions to Enablement that demonstrate good |
| usage of core DTP frameworks and tools, and not those of greater scope than could be reasonably allowed by a simple |
| specialization delivery. Functionality beyond the confines of simple specialization is always welcome, but must be |
| contributed by working with the DTP core frameworks and tools committers to ensure that it is delivered in a vendor |
| neutral way as part of DTP core, and hence available to any DTP extender.<br/><br/> |
| <b>Why Enablement?</b> John has recently <a href="http://dataplat.blogspot.com/2006/05/device-driver-problem.html" target="_blank">blogged</a> |
| about why Enablement is good for DTP, and good for the Eclipse ecosystem. |
