<p>John reports that the BPEL project has changed its Project Lead and was a bit
disorganized for a while. John will talk to the new lead and see what's going to
happen. The AspectJ and AJDT projects will move over to Tools. Photran and
Nebula are TBD.</p>

<p>We talked about Orbit for a while - we all like the idea. It will be a Tools
project.</p>

<p>Wayne reviewed Phoenix (no issues) and ECESIS (no progress on this). Bjorn
suggested that perhaps ECESIS is really just a repository of articles and
slideware and perhaps should be part of the Resources page instead of a separate
project, especially as the project seems moribund.</p>

<p>Ward had not report.</p>

<p>Bjorn reported on a number of projects: Mylar, Buckminster, Corona, eRCP, EPF,
Higgins. Buckminster and Higgins are in the process of moving their extra-eclipse.org
wikis to the wiki.eclipse.org. We have to be careful with the IP content of
those pages, but other than that this is a good idea.</p>

<p>Things we should look for in a project being a good Eclipse citizen:</p>

<ul>
  <li>Is their project home landing page up-to-date? Does it have Phoenix style?
    Is the content current or obsolete?<br>
    <i>The correct answers are &quot;Phoenix&quot; and &quot;current&quot;.</i></li>
  <li>Does the project do its work on eclipse.org servers versus some offsite
    servers? Specifically, does it use eclipse.org mailing lists? newsgroups?
    wiki? downloads?<br>
    <i>The correct answers are &quot;on the eclipse.org servers&quot;.</i></li>
  <li>Does the project use the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure-page2.php">project-info.xml
    files</a> as described in the documentation? Does the project use the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure-page3.php">standard
    left menu</a> as described in the documentation?<br>
    <i>The correct answers are &quot;yes&quot; and &quot;yes&quot;.</i></li>
</ul>
<p>We discussed ECF for a while - how much is it in use? What can we do to help
small projects like this?</p>
