| <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>Doc support back in the build; ISV docs still need work to get to completeness level of |
| platform, qualify internal extension points |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Procedural </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>WTP release review passed by EMO assuming no redist of Cactus jars. |
| <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>Will pursue update manager at Cactus site to make this easier |
| </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>Bug currently open to take build requirements |
| <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>Problems with reverse DNS lookup in our native build machine should be fixed, but |
| CVS connectivity issues remain and are still being investigated |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>1.0 Status </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>M9 status: on track for release tomorrow (Wednesday, November 23rd) |
| <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>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>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. |
| </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>Need to improve planning process for 1.5; there have been some complaints from the community |
| about the planning documents not being consistent. |
| </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>David Williams and others have been helping out with PDE builds and related issues. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Action Items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[all] Follow up with people who have high severity/priority bugs assigned to them. |
| </ul> |
