| <h2>Community</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>AI: Tim and Pieter: Work on adopter/contributor list. Update: Tim working with IP sub-committee and |
| EMO this week to get update on approval status.</li> |
| <li>Phoenix conversion: Nathan Gervais helping Bob Fraser work on converting home page.</li> |
| <li>EclipseCon: all panel and long talks accepted; reminder that short talks and demos are due 1/15. |
| Also add to WTP and general news lists.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Process </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Tim Wagner and Jochen Krause will be stepping down from the PMC. Jochen will be transitioning |
| immediately, and Tim will be phasing out his involvement between now and EclipseCon.</li> |
| <li>The PMC invited BEA to ask Jess Garms to join the calls for now as a representative to represent that |
| member company's contributions to, and adoption of, WTP.</li> |
| <li>Arthur Ryman has appointed Tim deBoer as a proxy for his WTP representation when he will be unable to |
| make the calls.</li> |
| |
| <li>Items from David Williams: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>RDB in WTP 1.5.3 stream</em> |
| |
| Some adopters (which happen to be from IBM) have requested the RDB |
| components in our 1.5.3 stream be provided in a separate zip. This would not be |
| much extra work for us (I would tweak the build to provide this). I propose we do this |
| and simply make the zip available on the download site (but not on the download |
| page, since it is not needed widely, and is simply a tactical, transitioning need). |
| |
| If PMC does not object, I will announce this plan on wtp-dev, in order to be open and transparent, |
| but not otherwise advertise it, so as to not cause any confusion.</li> |
| |
| <li><em>JEM transfer (move) from VE/Tools PMC to JST/WTP PMC</em> |
| |
| We've discussed this issue as we moved up to M4, but wanted to get a formal vote on |
| the record that WTP PMC agrees with taking over JEM. I've discussed with other |
| relevant parties, and they are in agreement, so, once I get official WTP agreement, |
| I'll contact EMO and set up a "move review".</li> |
| |
| <li><em>Expanded JavaScript Component</em> |
| |
| The ATF project has proposed part of their work to improve |
| the JavaScript editor be conducted as an incubating component |
| of WST, since the WST project is scoped to do JavaScript development |
| tools for the web. This is a WTP 3.0, 2008 release item, but it's such a large |
| effort the time would be to start now. So, with PMC approval, we'll |
| announce this new JavaScript work to EMO and Eclipse community, |
| setup a new JavaScript component page, etc., ... and perhaps even |
| a new mailing list and newsgroup, in anticipation of the interest. |
| The hope is, of course, that others will be interested in joining the effort.</li> |
| |
| <li><em>DocBook Editor</em> |
| |
| We have had a proposal to add a DocBook editor to WST |
| <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169810">(see Bugzilla entry)</a>. |
| These seems to me to be well within WST's charter, as the |
| Eclipse home of XML and since DocBook is an <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org">OASIS standard</a>. |
| But, it also seems different enough from pure "web work" that |
| we should explicitly approve it as a PMC, and announce our |
| intent to EMO and Eclipse Community. This is closely related to the internal models |
| in WST. |
| Note, this is primarily a WTP 3.0, 2008 issue, but |
| we should respond to the contributor as soon as possible, so |
| they know our intent and what they can plan on. (AI for David: Inform EMO |
| and work to ensure this is well communicated.)</li> |
| </ul></li> |
| <li>AI (Tim): Need to review IP progress with Janet for Europa release gating factors.</li> |
| <li>Need to begin planning for incubation exit for JSF and Dali.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>JEE and 2.0 Planning </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Previous calls reviewed the design document from SAP on the extensible |
| EE 5 model. A DOM-like model will have existing EMF-based models as one |
| representation but can also host other types of modeling technologies. |
| Focus for Europa will be on toleration of alternative models in WTP, |
| with a longer-term focus on adopting this approach internally.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Build Status (David) </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>2.0: M4 complete.</li> |
| <li>1.5.3 on track. Rampdown schedule: |
| <ul> |
| <li>1/26 PMC approval required for checkins. Approval page will go live. |
| Two PMC members (or their delegates) required for checkin.</li> |
| <li>2/2 RC</li> |
| <li>2/9 final code freeze / update site push</li> |
| <li>2/16 ship date</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>1.5.3 bug scrubbing will occur in Thursday's status call.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Dali (Neil) </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>No update this week; see AI above on incubation review planning.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>JSF (Raghu) </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Web page designer integrated; this will be the focus of M5.</li> |
| <li>See JSF wiki for weekly build feature updates.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>ATF (Bob) </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>(held over) Resolving dependencies with Mozilla and trying to get out hand-built builds. Need Mac build as well to |
| get support on that platform. Will plan to base tech preview on next major milestone.</li> |
| <li>Install improvements and build improvements going in.</li> |
| <li>See JavaScript component issue above.</li> |
| </ul> |
