| <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> |
