<p>The first goal
of <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn">Mylyn</a> is to make
task and context management seamlessly integrated with the
Eclipse Platform by providing rich and extensible frameworks for
task repository connectors, structure bridges and team
support. The second goal is to provide a reference implementation
of the Task-Focused UI for the Eclipse SDK. This includes
structure bridges for the artifacts supported by the SDK which
include Java, PDE, Ant and generic files. It also includes the
Bugzilla Connector as the reference task repository
implementation, and CVS integration as the reference team
support. Additional features can be considered based on the
availability community contributions and resources.

</div><h3>Internationalization</h3>
<div>
I18n is not in scope for the current release. See <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215116">bug 215116</a>
for details.
</div>
<p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div>
<p><strong>API Contract Compatibility:</strong> Mylyn 3.1 will be backward compatible with Mylyn 3.0.
</p>
<p><strong>Binary (plug-in) Compatibility:</strong> Mylyn 3.1 will be binary compatible with Mylyn 3.0.
</p>
<p><strong>Source Compatibility:</strong> Mylyn 3.1 will not by be source compatible with previous versions.
</p>
<p><strong>Workspace Compatibility:</strong> We intend to keep Mylyn
3.1 upwards workspace-compatible with all versions higher than Mylyn 2.0 unless noted.
This means that workspaces created with Mylyn 2.0 can be successfully
opened by Mylyn 3.1 and upgraded to a 3.1 workspace.
</p>
</div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="themes_and_priorities">Themes and Priorities</a></h2><div>
<p>
In addition to using the planned themes listed below, we need to
continue prioritizing the ongoing input of our growing user
community. Committers should prioritize bugs in the following order.
This order need not be used if a bug contains a community
contribution of a patch, in which case the quality of the patch
determines the priority.
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Framework APIs: Tasks, Context, Team, Monitor, Standalone and Headless Use</li>
<li>UI: Task List, Task Editor, Task-focused Interface</li>
<li>Connectors: Bugzilla (reference implementation), JIRA (community supported), Trac (committer supported), XPlanner (committer supported)</li>
<li>WikiText</li>
</ul>
