<h2>Announcements and General Business</h2>
<ul>
<li>For your awareness: <a
href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/10/13/Mozilla_Labs_pursues_Web_dev_tools_1.html?source=rss&url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/10/13/Mozilla_Labs_pursues_Web_dev_tools_1.html">Mozilla
Labs pursues Web dev tools</a>
<p>Possible relationship to ATF so should stay aware.</p>
</li>
<li>Reactions to the proposal to have <a
href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/technology-pmc/msg01118.html">Faceted Project Framework move to
Technology Project</a>?
<p>Very interesting discussion with many points expressed. Server View and Installable Runtimes are two other
possible (future) "common" components.</p>
<p>Immediate action is to note the glitch in the process already and simply note that there are concerns about
moving it out of WTP that would have to be worked-trough and addressed. Additionally, we all wondered why it was
that it could not stay in the WTP Commons project, was it just the name? WTP specific processes?</p>
<p>[Just by coincidence, I was on another call with Konstantin later in the day and he added a few other bits of
information that partially answer these. One was that he doesn't view this as "moving" but simply "incubating"
something new in the Technology project, and once it graduates from there, then it might find a new home (in theory,
for example, Platform, Tools...). Another was that he believes "if in WTP then no one will adopt (even if packaged
separately)". That's kind'a sad!? and/or I do not understand how Technology would be any better.]</p>
<p>We all agreed it is important of use as the WTP PMC to foster the evolution of Eclipse, while at the same
time ensuring the business interests of WTP.</p>
</li>
<li>Discussion of possible contributions that use Apache Velocity.
<p>Dali _might_ use for Entity generation. It could use Velocity templates, instead of .JET as it currently
does. We asked if the EMF's modeling's model-to-text components might offer an eclipse-based solution? (i.e. their
jet2 be used instead? (we're not sure if "jet2" is correct name)).</p>
<p>We concluded there was no obvious reason to object outright, but any contribution which pulls in further
dependencies would get extra scrutiny, and that this PMC discussion today, by itself, does not mean it's "accepted"
of course ... just that we would not object <i>a priori</i>.</p>
</li>

Education

<h3>Education: Naci Dai</h3>
<p>Please review: <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/new/new.php">Resource Page Proposal</a></p>
<p>Naci was approached (and countered) with some proposed articles for Eclipse (online) magazine [need link. only
one I found last published in 2007?] Naci will invite authors for a series of articles for "WTP Uncovered":</p>
<ol>
<li>web developer tools (xml, xsl, html, css)</li>
<li>web applications with Java (jsf, jsp, server)</li>
<li>enterprise application (jpa/ejb)</li>
<li>soa, webservices</li>
<li>adopters/extending (maybe)</li>
</ol>
<p>Naci updated us today: Publisher would like all articles in one issue (for an issued focused on WTP). Online
version would be in English. Print version would be translated to German. They'd like one overview article less than
20,000 words, and 4 shorter, but more focused article on specific areas, each less than 10,000 words</p>
<p>Naci will have some Eductation site/materials ready next week.</p>
<p>New Bugzilla component created: "Education".</p>
<p>We will publish education materials under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Creative
Commons -- Attribution Share Alike</a> but still EPL for sample code, examples and snippets.</p>

Requirements

<h3>Requirements: Raghu Srinivasan</h3>
<p><a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_3.1_Project_Plan">Planning Process Document</a> has been started.</p>
<p>Eclipse-level dates and requirements have been clarified in a <a
href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse.org-planning-council/msg01422.html">Planning Council message</a>
(and elsewhere).</p>
<hr />
<p>Raghu's Preliminary Note (to PMC PLs)</p>
<p>As you all know, we need to create the project plan for WTP-Galileo in the standard project plan format provided
by the Foundation. We also need to create a plan for each subproject. So I have created the first cut of the plan for
most of the active subprojects in WTP.</p>
<p>I need you to update the projectplanurl field for your project from the Eclipse Portal. For help, see the <a
href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Project_Meta-Data">HOWTO/Project_Meta-Data</a>. I don't
have the permission to update this for all the subprojects. Once you do that, you can view the plan by going to the
standard home for your project, For example, see the one for <a
href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=webtools">webtools as a whole</a>, scroll down
to the Project Plan section and click on the link that says, "pending standard form".</p>
<p>I would appreciate if you could try this and report your findings at the PMC call tomorrow. I (and David) have
had mixed experiences in viewing this file and hence I want you to test it out before I mail this to all the other
leads.</p>
<p>Following are the URLs to use for each of the subprojects:</p>
<ul>
<li>EJB Tools: <code>http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/standard-project-plans/galileo/ejb-tools-plan.xml</code></li>
<li>Dali: <code>http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/standard-project-plans/galileo/dali-plan.xml</code></li>
<li>Server Tools: <code>http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/standard-project-plans/galileo/server-tools-plan.xml</code></li>
<li>Releng: <code>http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/standard-project-plans/galileo/releng-plan.xml</code></li>
</ul>
<p>For the community to consume, I am hoping I can aggregate the plans to one plan.</p>

<h3>Quality: Neil Hauge</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Notes:</dt>
<dd>Neil investigating "close old bugs" policy.</dd>
<dd>Neil has estimated approximately 800 bugs (of 2000 untargeted bugs) could be considered "old bugs". He'll
prepare a table and note to send to project with encouragement to PLs to handle ... something like either triage
individually and assign a target, or mark with 'helpwanted' or mark in mass with a kind comment to re-open if still
an issue (with reason for the mass update, etc.).</dd>
