 <h3>Quality: Neil Hauge</h3>
 <li>Focus items in status meetings:
 <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>
 </li>
 <li>Neil investigating a blanket "close old bugs" policy -- to present to the group for review and approval.</li>
 <li>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.).</li>

     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>
