            <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for November 29, 2005 Conference Call</h1>
            <h2>Community Update [LM]</h2>
            <ul>
                <li>1.0 rollout
                <ul>
                    <li>Tutorials need to be updated / corrected for 1.0</li>

                    <li>Documentation placed online and searchable by Google</li>
                    <li>Explore links from main and download page</li>
                    <li>Arthur created a "FreshMeat" entry for M9 to garner additional awareness of our tools (in
                    review stage)</li>
                    <li>Should also plan for Slashdot article</li>
                    <li>EclipseZone interview</li>
                </ul>
                </li>

                the content, presentation, and toolset.</li>
            </ul>
            <h2>Emerging API Migration/Support Policy</h2>
            <ul>
                <li>Summary by Arthur of non-API support policy proposal (see agenda); goal is to provide best
                level of support to adopters that we can. Focus is primarily on 1.0 - 1.5 transition, although even post
                1.5 there will be ongoing API evolution issues for adopters to worry about.</li>
                <li>Result depends in large part on community engagement; usage reports will be helpful in driving
                WTP activities.</li>
                <li>Need to ensure that we don't turn this into a mechanism for exposing any arbitrary internal
                methods into lifetime commitments.</li>
            </ul>
            <h2>1.0 Status</h2>
            <ul>
                <li>Large backlog of bugs, documentation, and JUnit testing going on</li>
                <li>Initial RC will take place this week as planned, although there will still be some areas with
                insufficient tests</li>
                <li>Will solicit P2 review from devs via mailing list (as well as remind people of endgame plan)</li>
            </ul>
            <h2>Requirements Update</h2>
            <ul>

            </ul>
            <h2>Calisto Update</h2>
            <ul>
                <li>David reviewed bugs; doesn't look bad, but we cannot commit to making the M4 train due to
                conflict with 1.0.</li>
            </ul>
