            <p><b>Planning Comittee Status</b> by Dominique</p>
            <ul>
                <li>Good news about the new infrastructure: the new webmaster is very helpful and quick to reply !</li>
                <li>Our 2 new committers, Valeriy Pelyushenko and Gorkem Ercan, have now their committer rights</li>
                <li>According to email exchanges with some OSS Eclipse plugins' teams, the WTP project appears now
                more attractive to new contributors</li>
                <li>We are waiting the Bjorn's return about the contact with Alex Fitzpatrick from the OSS <a
                    href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jseditor/">JSEditor</a> Eclipse plugin</li>
                <li>Uwe Voigt, of the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbedit">DbEdit</a> plugin, would be
                interested in bringing his experience and knowledge into the WTP project</li>
                <li>Ed Merks, from the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/xsd/">XSD</a> Eclipse technology project,
                seems interested to work on WTP schema capabilities. To confirm.</li>
                <li>Exchange of emails with <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/pollinate/">Pollinate</a> for a better
                WTP/Pollinate synchronization and a better WTP milestones planification. In short term, Pollinate is
                interested in JSP editor and flexible project layout. In a longer term, Pollinate is interested in Web
                Services support (not before Q2 2005).</li>
                <li>Dominique to post M4-M5 draft, this evening, on wtp-pmc, for first comments and then, on
                eclipse.org for community comments</li>
            </ul>
            <p><b>Charter</b> by Christophe</p>
            <ul>
                <li>To resolve a potential ambiguity in the charter about committer vote approval, we have voted
                'yes' for the <a href="./2004-10-19.html">charter change proposal</a> of the previous week.</li>
                <li>The committer vote approval for Jens Lukowski is still on-going. Due to the charter change, the
                time counter is reset to zero and this vote process will last no more than 7 days, starting from now</li>
            </ul>
            <p><b>Milestone Dates</b> by David</p>
            <ul>
                <li>David mentionned WTP M2 should be based on Eclipse 3.1M4, not on 3.1M3 as stated by the current
                milestone plan. Everyone agrees.</li>
                <li>Dominique to do the correction of that mistake on eclipse.org</li>
            </ul>
            <p><b>Adoption Rate of Contributed Code</b> by Naci</p>
            <ul>
                <li>Continued discussion of how quickly to put the contributed code into CVS.</li>
                <li>Naci brings the idea of an incubator, a space for code under review, before putting it into
                CVS.</li>
                <li>Should we define a workflow for acceptation of code in main stream WTP codebase !?</li>
                <li>David proposed the idea to put code into CVS, that may be, or not upon status, part of the
                builds.</li>
                <li>We need to formalize better, to write down somes notes about the review process and the CVS
                acceptance</li>
                <li>David is going to check the Eclipse development process and to highlight that process to look
                for guidelines</li>
            </ul>
            <p><b>On the Queue for Next Week</b></p>
            <ul>
                <li>Discussion the WebDAV component (reflexion in progress)</li>
                <li>'Making noise' by Mitch</li>
