| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for July 18, 2006 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>Process</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>David Williams has agreed to take over as WST sub project lead. Arthur Ryman has offered to |
| remain on the PMC in an advisory capacity. The PMC ratified David's new leadership role.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Dali Planning [Neil]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>F2f meeting now in progress.</li> |
| <li>Release planning: 1.0 release as part of WTP 2.0 / Europa. Mid-year milestone as an interim |
| goal (end of '06, likely synchronized with Europa, not but a release). Will be joining WTP in Europa |
| milestones, probably beginning in September. (This will be faciliated by build integration; biggest |
| hurdle at the moment is probably DTP dependency.)</li> |
| <li>WTP integration will be a focal point of the release, including facets, project creation, etc. |
| </li> |
| <li>List of new features targeted for December milestone; will be published after meeting.</li> |
| <li>Community and incubation exit plans: Mostly an Oracle development effort today; historical |
| contributions from Versant. Actively pursuing other companies for additional contributions.</li> |
| <li>DTP integration: Will need to make this switch early in the 2.0 cycle; will look to initiate |
| this in August. (There are some internal dependencies, but much of this is pass through to our |
| adopters.) First step is to include DTP in the WTP builds. Dali team will need to ensure that all needed |
| APIs are available after that.</li> |
| <li>Some JDT requirements for annotation processing are emerging.</li> |
| <li>Action item [NH]: WTP 2.0 planning Wiki needs either the actual plans or a link to them so that |
| we can organize the information in one place.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>JSF Planning [Gerry]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Planning to ship with WTP 2.0/Europa (same plan as for Dali) as a graduated component; like |
| Dali, may have a "major" milestone around the end of the year, but more planning is required around the |
| visual designer integration.</li> |
| <li>Good feedback from tech preview so far, lots of downloads, a few bug reports.</li> |
| <li>Major new feature will be visual page designer (Sybase contribution) and its integration with |
| SSE and other fundamental WTP components.</li> |
| <li>Reshuffling of pieces into WST/JST may also occur in the Europa timeframe.</li> |
| <li>Already in build system; will be part of Europa milestones.</li> |
| <li>Community: IBM, Sybase, and Oracle all major contributors to date. One individual contributor |
| to date, several people who've contributed bug reports, etc. as part of the community.</li> |
| <li>Action item [RS]: WTP 2.0 planning Wiki needs either the actual plans or a link to them so that |
| we can organize the information in one place.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>ATF Planning [Robert]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Staffing changes on team should be wrapping up.</li> |
| <li>Currently planning next milestone for August: improved facet support (AJAX support can be added |
| to any project), Apache server deployment, enhanced JS debugging, PHP support, major documentation |
| updates, etc.</li> |
| <li>Conversations with Opera browser team ongoing.</li> |
| <li>Investigating IE debugging support, but don't have rights to ship the needed DLLs, so this may |
| prove difficult.</li> |
| <li>Scoping enhanced JavaScript editor as a work item.</li> |
| <li>Attempting to engage some companies to do POC engagements with ATF to get additional feedback |
| (via IBM).</li> |
| <li>Community interest to date, but not much in the way of volunteers yet.</li> |
| <li>Action item: Pursue build / Europa integration with David.</li> |
| <li>Action item: Plan technology preview around end of year.</li> |
| <li>Action item: WTP 2.0 planning Wiki needs either the actual plans or a link to them so that we |
| can organize the information in one place.</li> |
| <li>Action item [TW]: Talk to Ian about rotating "project information" banners on the Eclipse home |
| page to help drive interest and contributions. (Also research at the EMO/Board level as a follow up.)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>1.0.3 Status</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Small number of remaining bugs that we will investigate deferring to the 1.5.x stream.</li> |
| <li>Plan is to shut it down according to the rampdown schedule.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items and Owners (new)</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Sub-project leads to connect planning information to the WTP 2.0 planning wiki (see above)</li> |
| <li>[TW] Follow up with BEA on 1.0.3 deferred defects (in progress)</li> |
| <li>[TW] Follow up with Europa/planning council on Europa milestone dates (email sent)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items and Owners (held over from last week)</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[TW] Tim to produce "full" release review deck and distribute to PMC for review.</li> |
| <li>[TW] Tim to discuss possible use of Instantiations test tools with Mike and pursue IP questions |
| with Instantiations. Open test scripts and runtime as a sub-project of TPTP would be one way to avoid |
| the IP concerns.</li> |
| </ul> |
