| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for November 22, 2005 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>Community Update [LM]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>EclipseCon - three tutorials accepted (one user, two extension/API talks). Very good coverage |
| for WTP as a percentage of tutorials. Remaining tutorial program should be completed this week or next. |
| </li> |
| <li>Doc support back in the build; ISV docs still need work to get to completeness level of |
| platform, qualify internal extension points</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Procedural</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>WTP release review passed by EMO assuming no redist of Cactus jars.</li> |
| <li>Janet continues IP due diligence on cactus in case there's time to reconsider this for 1.0; |
| otherwise it will slip into 1.5.</li> |
| <li>Will pursue update manager at Cactus site to make this easier</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Build Issues</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Denis offered EMO-hosted machine in Ottawa for WTP builds; this machine would be closer to CVS |
| and administered by EMO personnel</li> |
| <li>Bug currently open to take build requirements</li> |
| <li>We'll still keep machine in Turkey going as a parallel / backup solution; will improve our |
| capacity especially as we need to engage in parallel development</li> |
| <li>Problems with reverse DNS lookup in our native build machine should be fixed, but CVS |
| connectivity issues remain and are still being investigated</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>1.0 Status</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>M9 status: on track for release tomorrow (Wednesday, November 23rd)</li> |
| <li>Defect outlook / adoption readiness: Discussed synchronization issues as a class; a number of |
| these have arisen in 1.0 and have been problematic for adopters. Discussed a "model lock" approach as a |
| possible solution for serializing update, although performance considerations would apply. Will work to |
| improve documentation in 1.0, discuss architectural solutions for 1.5, and improve low-level JUnit |
| testing to expose these defects earlier. Line-level review of high severity defects will occur in the |
| status call tomorrow (note date change). There are two blocking and four critical defects and one P1 |
| listed at the moment.</li> |
| <li>API status: Will review scan results from M9 next week. If documentation and/or testing is |
| lacking, then we will need to pull APIs from 1.0.</li> |
| <li>Update site available only for release, not for M9. Recommendation is to use a fresh install |
| for M9; overlay on top of 0.7 may have problems.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Requirements Update</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Updating "Supported Platforms" section of WTP requirements; plan is to support same |
| configurations supported by the Eclipse platform.</li> |
| <li>Need to improve planning process for 1.5; there have been some complaints from the community |
| about the planning documents not being consistent.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>JSF Update</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Demo of faces visual editor by Sybase and some discussion of architecture and proposed |
| integration occurred yesterday.</li> |
| <li>David Williams and others have been helping out with PDE builds and related issues.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[all] Follow up with people who have high severity/priority bugs assigned to them.</li> |
| </ul> |
