| <p><b>Executive Summary: <br> |
| </b>Effectively, the project did not start until September due to the |
| combination of vacation schedules, the commercial commitments of a major |
| contributor, and other factors. However, the project is now starting and |
| we are taking the first steps in the right directions. Our biggest problem |
| is turning resource contribution commitments into actions, however we do |
| have a number of new active non-IBM committers, and we have formed working |
| group to gather in more people. </p> |
| <p>The first chunks of code have been evaluated, revamped, and moved from |
| the initial contributions into the CVS repository. We expect the pace of |
| this movement to accelerate in the next quarter. We are committed to |
| committing [sic] as fast as the community can understand the architecture, |
| design, and code. We are working on the pieces on the critical path to a |
| larger framework, e.g., structured source editing which is a prerequisite |
| for JSP editing, etc. </p> |
| <p>We have found starting this project to be harder that we anticipated |
| given its unique situation of being (a) the first time such a diverse team |
| has been tried from day one, and (b) the first time a project has started |
| with a large code contribution that many contributors must become familiar |
| with. </p> |
| <p><b>Acknowledgements:</b> <br> |
| We thank the Eclipse Platform build team for helping with our build |
| system, and Jim des Rivieres for help with our APIs and naming schemes. |
