<p>Attending: Bjorn Freeman-Benson, David Williams, Jochen Krause, Mitch Sonies, Naci Dai</p>
<p><b>Flexible Project Support Working Group</b> by David</p>
<ul>
<li>Who is on this working group?</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Charter</b> by Bjorn</p>
<ul>
<li>To resolve a potential ambiguity in the charter about voting, we
propose to vote next week to propose to the Eclipse Board the following
changes (highlighted) to the <a href="../../project-charter.html">WTP
Project Charter</a>:<br>
&quot;Once a Developer is nominated, the Committers for the Project (or
component) will vote. <span style="background-color: #FFFF00">Voting
will remain open for one week (seven calendar days).</span> If there are
at least 3 positive votes and no negative votes
<span style="background-color: #FFFF00">in that period</span>, the
Developer is recommended to the PMC for commit privileges.&quot;</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Milestone Dates</b> by David and Naci</p>
<ul>
<li>We have changed <a href="../planning/milestone_plan_1_0.html">our
milestone dates</a> to be one week after the corresponding Eclipse
Platform milestone dates and have annotated our milestones with the
Platform milestone version they will be built upon.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>FAQ</b> by Bjorn</p>
<ul>
<li>We don't have a FAQ yet, but we need one. We decided the best
process to create the FAQ is to have a Bugzilla component for the FAQ
and use that to drive the FAQ creation. We have requested the Eclipse
infrastructure person to create the FAQ component.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Adoption Rate of Contributed Code</b> by Jochen</p>
<ul>
<li>Continued discussion of how quickly to put the contributed code into
CVS; whether the code should be put in CVS before being reviewed, after
being reviewed but before being refactored, etc. The issue remains open.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>M1 How Did We Do?</b> by David and Naci</p>
<ul>
<li>A series of measures of our progress:<ul>
<li>Made the M1 date: <b><font color="#00CC66"><i>yes</i></font></b></li>
<li>Promised function: <i><b><font color="#00CC66">mostly</font></b></i></li>
<li>Unit tests complete and running as &quot;passed&quot;: <font color="#FF0000">
<i>no</i></font></li>
<li>Test plan with use cases: <i><font color="#FF0000">no</font></i></li>
<li>Function available one week before milestone: <i>
<font color="#FF0000">no</font></i></li>
<li>Design and APIs reviewed and issues answered before milestone: <i>
<font color="#FF0000">no</font></i></li>
<li>Community-users buy-in and/or excitement: <i>
<font color="#FF0000">no - no announcement, no link to download page,
no tutorials/examples/where to start, no new/noteworthy</font></i></li>
<li>Included community contributed code: <i><b><font color="#00CC66">
yes</font></b></i></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For the M2 release, we need to behave more like a real software
project including:<ul>
<li>A development process document including the freeze-build-test
cycle and when to freeze, when to provide the first integration build,
testing, fixing, labeling in CVS, how to notify the world, etc.
Include the list of tasks that committers must complete to be part of
the M-Build (no more last minute dependency errors).</li>
<li>A list of the built packages: WTP binary, WST binary, WTP SDK, WST
SDK, Tests. Not that JST requires WST, so there is no separate JST
binary or JST SDK.</li>
<li>A requirement that no component be included in the release if
there are no tests. The lack of unit tests and a test platform is our
single biggest deficiency.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>On the Queue for Next Week</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Discussion the WebDAV component</li>
<li>Planning group report</li>
<li>Milestone planning for M2</li>
</ul>
