| <p><b>Executive Summary: <br /> |
| </b>Effectively, the project did not start until September due to the combination of vacation schedules, the |
| commercial commitments of a major contributor, and other factors. However, the project is now starting and |
| we are taking the first steps in the right directions. Our biggest problem is turning resource contribution |
| commitments into actions, however we do have a number of new active non-IBM committers, and we have formed |
| working group to gather in more people.</p> |
| <p>The first chunks of code have been evaluated, revamped, and moved from the initial contributions into |
| the CVS repository. We expect the pace of this movement to accelerate in the next quarter. We are committed |
| to committing [sic] as fast as the community can understand the architecture, design, and code. We are |
| working on the pieces on the critical path to a larger framework, e.g., structured source editing which is a |
| prerequisite for JSP editing, etc.</p> |
| <p>We have found starting this project to be harder that we anticipated given its unique situation of |
| being (a) the first time such a diverse team has been tried from day one, and (b) the first time a project |
| has started with a large code contribution that many contributors must become familiar with.</p> |
| <p><b>Acknowledgements:</b> <br /> |
| We thank the Eclipse Platform build team for helping with our build system, and Jim des Rivieres for help |
| with our APIs and naming schemes.</p> |
