| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for April 26, 2005 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>No procedural matters</h2> |
| <h2>No community update this week</h2> |
| <h2>M4 Readiness</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Tuesday build should include at least 5 of the 12 remaining unresolved blocking-or-critical |
| issues</li> |
| <li>Non-trivial churn occurring, but still appear to be on track for a Friday milestone release</li> |
| <li>No 3PC issues known at this time (although some non-blocking 3PC, such as DTDs, still need to |
| be added)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>API Review</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Summary: 52% JUnit coverage, 96% JavaDoc coverage on 2,674 APIs.</li> |
| <li>Dynamic tracing of project model APIs raised measured coverage from 25% to 35%; more testing |
| (on full suite) still pending and delayed on other bugs</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Architecture Group Report [DW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Component meetings are scheduled for six weeks on Thursdays, starting in May; interested |
| consumer of WTP and others are invited (meetings are open to the public)</li> |
| <li>"State of the Architecture" Report as of M4: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Too many plugins; some consolidation is warranted</li> |
| <li>Feature split-up, based on user expectations/scenarios into functional areas being |
| considered in M5</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>M4 exit: need to issue a clear statement that "internal provisional" APIs means that we're |
| interested in feedback, but that these <em>are still internal and not API quality</em></li> |
| <li>No "friend" APIs will be defined in 1.0; will look into this in subsequent releases</li> |
| <li>During M5 we need to review the number of violations of platform APIs</li> |
| <li>State of APIs on M4 exit: "ready for review" means that community feedback is being sought</li> |
| <li>EMF models: need to clarify which parts are in/out of the API; see AG notes (ongoing issue, AG |
| working with component leads on this)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Discussion of Possible Hardening Release [JK]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Discussed a possible hardening release, circa 12/15/2005, focusing on APIs, performance, and |
| usability</li> |
| <li>Would advance ability of ISV's to build on WTP</li> |
| <li>Likely numbered "1.1"; work on next major release (2.0?) could occur in parallel on a separate |
| branch</li> |
| <li>Issues - coordination with WTP prereqs (EMF, GEF, etc.); believe these should be tractable</li> |
