| <h2>Decision on Flexible Project and Server Feature Request</h2> |
| Because of the need to ship in a timely manner, we have decided to postpone suggested enhancements to the |
| flexible project model/server APIs. Although these are important pieces of the WTP framework, scheduling |
| constraints and incipient change in this area in the platform itself have caused us to defer those |
| investigations until 1.1. The PMC resolved to |
| <ul> |
| <li>Maintain the current shipping schedule |
| <li>Make the quality of user tools the focus of the 1.0 release |
| <li>Make the framework (APIs) the focus of the 1.1 release, including finalizing the project and server models |
| </ul> |
| One natural fallout of this decision is that the server and project APIs must be provisional in 1.0, |
| given that they are almost certain to change for the reasons cited. |
| WTP will document them as such (JavaDoc, component.xml, release documentation) but is not currently planning on |
| altering the packaging because of the delays involved and the shortness of the remaining schedule. |
