 <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for April 12, 2005 Conference Call</h1>

 <h2>Procedural matters - None</h2>

 <h2>Community [LM] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>EclipseWorld tutorial proposal in flight.
 <li>AR created presentation archive  see email on WTP list. This is intended to be a repository for presentation materials.
 <li>AR talking at Colorado Software Summit on Web Services development in Eclipse and WSDL 2.0.
 <li>Help system: successful internal build; should be incorporated into this weeks I-build. Requested Bugzilla documentation component (PMC approved request). Will be contacting BEA for help with documentation content work.
 </ul>

 [PMC members only for the remaining portion of the meeting]

 <h2>API Review</h2>
 <ul>
 <li>PMC reviewed API statistics
 <li>j2ee.core component identified as not making sufficient progress; the bulk of its models will need to be turned provisional. Potential migration of flexible project model to platform in 3.2 is a possible stumbling block in finalizing API in that area.
 <li>Clarified renaming/repackaging strategy to be complete by end of M4.
 <li>Continued progress on removing unintended APIs: dropped from 4,326 to 3,349. Overall metric for 4/11 build is 59.
 <li>Summary from April 11th build report: 35% JUnit coverage, 95% JavaDoc coverage, 9/14 overview docs.

 </ul>

 <h2>Requirements Group Report [JK] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>No news to report; will begin including this in the agenda on a bi-weekly basis.
 </ul>

 <h2>Architecture Group Report [DW] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>Validation framework API deferred.
 <li>XML resolver/catalog API deferred.
 <li>See flexible project model notes above.
 <li>Separate XERCES plugin build likely this week.
 <li>XML and WSDL dependency on JDT should be removed this week.
 <li>GEMs M6 readiness is late; may cause us to introduce a late dependency change into our own build.
 </ul>

 <h2>XPDL Proposal and Discussion of WTP Criteria for Submissions [JK] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>AR: standard body must be recognized, but standard must also be popular and open source runtime available, and standard must be in scope.
 <li>AR: Criteria for standards body: open to new members, broad industry participation, established/history.
 <li>CN: Maturity and adoption of standard should be part of our criteria.
 <li>ND: XPDL and BPEL would be better placed in a technology project; too far from general audience of WTP.
 <li>PMC resolved to suggest a technology project, but agreed to review the proposal when written to review vis-à-vis WTP charter.
 </ul>

 <h2>WTP 1.0 Product Forums [JK] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>Idea would be to get interested parties to build on WTP 1.0, drive adoption, and gather requirements for 1.1.
 <li>Timeframe: post 1.0 ship (easier to do once churn stops).
 <li>Requirements group will take this on and report back to the PMC when proposal is complete.
 </ul>

 <h2>Eclipse Booth at JavaOne [TW] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>CN, DD, and TW will assist with staffing the booth; TW to respond to Ian.
 </ul>

 <h2>Creation of XSL Component [DW] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>Discussed contribution request (for 1.1; not on table for 1.0 release).
 <li>Normal committership process must be followed, despite size of contribution.
 <li>Can be made part of build so that its available for evaluation by committers and rest of community.
 </ul>

 <h2>Upcoming Milestone Build Process Ownership [DW] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>Setting dates / versions for upstream components, driving test plans with component leads, evaluation of candidates and convergence toward acceptance.
 <li>AR offered to support DW in this effort.
 </ul>

 <h2>Build Status Reports [ND] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>New distribution list will be set up for build reports.
 <li>Progress on build status/result reporting  compile failures now attached to email.
 <li>Will increase number of warmup builds.
 </ul>

 <h2>Status Update on Ongoing Projects [AR] </h2>
 <ul>
 <li>Janet making progress on 3rd party content agreements; ETA is M4.
 <li>AXE will be going into the Lepido technology project.
 <li>DTP: Sybase and others meeting with IBM to go over code and make progress (see email to PMC).
 </ul>

 <h2>Action Items:</h2>
 <ul>
 <li>TW: finalize dates for release reviews with EMO (week of June 20th being discussed)
 </ul>
