|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Philippe Ombredanne (ATF): N</li> | 
|  | </ul> | 
|  | --> | 
|  | <h2>Announcements and General Business</h2> | 
|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>WTP Guidelines on "Committer Emeritus"? | 
|  | <p>Project Leads can decide, and provide a supporting paragraph, themselves, but we suggest the following be | 
|  | considered while deciding if someone deserves this status. | 
|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Nominees should have contributed significant code and functions to WTP over a long period of time, such | 
|  | as at least a year or two.</li> | 
|  | <li>Was active with the Eclipse Community of WTP users and adopters via newsgroups and mailing lists.</li> | 
|  | <li>Advanced WTP by giving presentations and writing articles or tutorials.</li> | 
|  | <li>Participated in a well rounded fashion in all aspects of a WTP development cycle; requirements, design, | 
|  | implementation, testing, performance tuning, bug fixing.</li> | 
|  | </ul> | 
|  | <p> | 
|  | This is a subjective judgement, but following some defensible guidelines such as the above should make it easier to | 
|  | make sure that most other Eclipse members would agree with the judgment. | 
|  | </p> | 
|  | <p><b>Note from meeting:</b> we agreed with these general guidelines as simply being our helping project leads | 
|  | know what's expected, but that it's still up to project leads to decide and nominate, and that we don't need any | 
|  | other process or PMC review of inidividual nominations.</p> | 
|  | <li><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/community/democamp/organizedemocamp.php">Organize an Eclipse DemoCamp | 
|  | to Celebrate Ganymede</a> Any interest? Raleigh? (David, Neil?) | 
|  | <p><b>Note from meeting:</b> Neil is interested in helping Ginny with RTP one, so will let them discuss. Raghu | 
|  | won't be able to sponser or organize one, but will keep his eye open for those in San Jose area to see if he can | 
|  | attend or participate.</p> | 
|  | </li> | 
|  | </ul> | 
|  | <h2>Reports, Actions, Issues</h2> | 
|  | <h3>Requirements: Raghu Srinivasan</h3> | 
|  | <p><a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/wtp-pmc/msg01414.html">Raghu has requested</a> we discuss <a | 
|  | href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Web_Tools_Platform_Release_3.0_Requirements">Requirements Document</a> to help him | 
|  | "close it out" and begin next.</p> | 
|  | <p><b>Note from meeting:</b> Will hold over to next week</p> | 
|  | <p>We need Draft release plan, in standard format, for next years release by June (See see <a | 
|  | href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215301">bug 215301</a>).<br /> | 
|  | Raghu to lead, and propose an alternative or two. Rumor has it that the June deadline was to have a standard format | 
|  | decided, and the "infrastructure" in place to roll them up into a single roadmap document. The "real" plan is expected | 
|  | by September. My understanding was there would be a new note to this effect to "project leads list", but haven't seen it | 
|  | yet.</p> |

|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>We may need <b>another</b> 2.0.2 patch -- and/or another release!, 2.0.3, to collect these "bad bugs". | 
|  | (I've asked Naci to get involved, but haven't heard anything yet.) |

|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Any remaining "automatically close since so old" work we should do now, before release? | 
|  | <p><b>Note from meeting:</b> Will hold over till next week, or so. If no decision by then, we will take no | 
|  | action, to avoid making "automatic" decisions right before a release, when there would be no time for a response, if | 
|  | we err'd.</p> |

|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Working on "use cases" document, for novice user. Should be ready for public review and comments in a | 
|  | few weeks.</li> | 
|  | <li>Will be attending the UA Walk through meetings, and may propose a WTP one in future (perhaps on facets |

|  | <h3>Architecture: Tim deBoer</h3> | 
|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Tim will find out specific "advise to give developers (and auto-test teams)" to implement the WTP API | 
|  | policy (which tools/build reports to use).</li> | 
|  | </ul> | 
|  | <dl> | 
|  | <dt>Notes:</dt> | 
|  | <dd> | 
|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Recommended to restart the protected non-api scans.</li> | 
|  | <li>Will not accept new data, for now, but if tooling could be improved to detect/remove additional | 
|  | (non-protected) data, then perhaps it'd be useful to show non-api use going down.</li> | 
|  | <li>But, an update: Have discovered that current ones are nearly meaningless, since so much as changed, so | 
|  | scan's show us as "changing protected API", but it's not protected API any longer. | 
|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Concluded we should still run the scans, as sort of a "unit test" to see if any new, unexpected | 
|  | breakage. Run occasionally, that is, such as every milestone?</li> | 
|  | <li>We'll need to tell developers to "make use of as best they can" since it includes lots of noise.</li> | 
|  | <li>We may look at easy ways to reduce noise ... such as to "diff" with previous, or some particular | 
|  | reference report.</li> | 
|  | <li>It was suggested at some point we may want to put the work back on adopters to sanitize their data, | 
|  | but, that might still require more work on our part to make sure no new usage data was added.</li> |

|  | <li>Potential resource issues? | 
|  | <ul> | 
|  | <li>Product plugin for EPP and welcome screen</li> | 
|  | <li>Refactoring Doc features (and moving to appropriate sub-projects).</li> | 
|  | <li>Refactoring SDK (source and JavaDoc) features/bundles (and moving to appropriate sub-projects)</li> | 
|  | <li>Platform/OS coverage for testing and support? -- probably suffices to simply record coverage. Perhaps | 
|  | ask for community help.</li> | 
|  | <li>Performance Tests -- Kayolan making some progress.</li> |
