 	<li id="movenotes">Rough notes from meeting.
 	<p>Konstantin presented the reasons he'd like the Faceted project
 	code outside of WTP.</p>

 	<p>Partially for appearance and visibility as a generally useful
 	framework, not specific to webtools. Broaden appeal, broaden adoption.
 	</p>
 	<p>He was pretty direct that the move was to have independent
 	governance, that in his view of open source development, the individual
 	person who works on some framework code should have final say in what
 	they do with that code (that they could not be vetoed by other
 	committers in the project). </p>
 	<p>He sees the framework's 2.x code as a fresh start, with his own
 	API Policy (not WTP's) which would include removing all the currently
 	deprecated API The current API would be renamed to its own package
 	namespace. (The current/continued 1.x stream would keep same namespace
 	and API as it has now, and he'd try to maintain compatibility, having
 	the old code call out to the new code.)</p>
 	<p>The new v2 framework would offer some new UI work. clean API (no
 	deprecated API). No "core api" additions or concepts were mentioned.</p>
 	<p>He said there were no other adopters, beyond WTP. Some recent
 	discussions came from PDT (who prereq WTP). He has discussed with CDT,
 	but Doug said "interesting, but no time or people to do right now".
 	Konstantin would also like to pitch to PDE team, if he had independent
 	project.</p>
 	<p>As to why "more efficient" to do both old and new code in one
 	project, he mentioned then they could have a common build.</p>
 	<p>He acknowledged the incubating state of current Faceted Project
 	project, and thought it would not take much to get graduated. (He
 	mentioned work on build).</p>
 	<p>He acknowledged there was not much community in the new
 	Incubating project,, in terms of adoption, mailing lists, newsgroups,
 	bugzilla, which he attributes to the "chicken and egg" phenomena.</p>
 	<p>When asked about having other committers in the new project, he
 	said he would like very much if others made substantial contributions
 	to the code (but no one has so far, and no one has shown much
 	interest).</p>
 	<p>He said he could not think of any alternatives, such as (my
 	offhand suggestion) having a sub-sub-project of WTP's Common Tools
 	project would not solve the governance problem, he said.</p>
 	<p>Overall, I think the meeting/discussion accomplished what it
 	should have (increased our understanding, give him a chance to
 	explain).</p>
