<h3>Quality: Neil Hauge</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Notes:</dt>
<dd>See previous notes for statistics.
<p>It is be important for us to do by 'sub-project' to compare
within our own WTP projects, as well as to other top level ones</p>
</dd>
<dd>Neil investigating "close old bugs" policy.</dd>
<dd>Neil has estimated approximately 800 bugs (of 2000 untargeted
bugs) could be considered "old bugs". He'll prepare a table and note to
send to project with encouragement to PLs to handle ... something like
either triage individually and assign a target, or mark with
'helpwanted' or mark in mass with a kind comment to re-open if still an
issue (with reason for the mass update, etc.).</dd>

Architecture

<h3>Architecture: Tim deBoer</h3>
<ul>
<li>API Tools. Tim to investigate and make recommendations to
teams.</li>
<li>Tim investigated API tools. There is a wizard that adds a
builder to each plugin you select to add API tools support. There were
some minor changes to move up to the tools (e.g. adding @noimplement
javadoc tag) and taking a baseline, but it did catch missing @since
tags, broken API, plugin versions that should be incremented, etc.
Would recommend for 3.1 development.</li>
<li>Next step is to try with plugins that have more API issues,
non-internal packages that shouldn't be public, etc. to see if the
impact to development teams is acceptable.</li>
<li>Also need to investigate build impact.</li>

Education

<h3>Education: Naci Dai</h3>
<p>Naci reports web pages for education materials are about ready.
He is writing article, as deadline is in December. Raghu was only
response he got for being interested in contributing too.</p>
<hr />
<p>Please review: <a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/resources/">Resource
Page Proposal</a></p>
<p>Naci was approached (and countered) with some proposed articles
for Eclipse (online) magazine [need link. only one I found last
published in 2007?] Naci will invite authors for a series of articles
for "WTP Uncovered":</p>
<ol>
<li>web developer tools (xml, xsl, html, css)</li>
<li>web applications with Java (jsf, jsp, server)</li>
<li>enterprise application (jpa/ejb)</li>
<li>soa, webservices</li>
<li>adopters/extending (maybe)</li>
</ol>
<p>Naci updated us today: Publisher would like all articles in one
issue (for an issued focused on WTP). Online version would be in
English. Print version would be translated to German. They'd like one
overview article less than 20,000 words, and 4 shorter, but more focused
article on specific areas, each less than 10,000 words</p>
<p>Naci will have some Eductation site/materials ready next week.</p>
<p>New Bugzilla component created: "Education".</p>
<p>We will publish education materials under <a
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Creative
Commons -- Attribution Share Alike</a> but still EPL for sample code,
examples and snippets.</p>
