Time Plan and Deadlines toward M7

• Plan towards M7 - goals and deadlines for I-builds
  • I20070419 -- Fixes for localization enablement testing (BIDI, DBCS)
  • I20070426 -- Major breaking API changes (Martin: getSystemType(), getInstance(); UI/Non-UI; Persistence)
  • I20070503 -- Minor API changes - Final Feature Additions - Feature Freeze (Terminal integration; FTP Parser)
  • I20070510 -- Stabilization, start TM 2.0M7 Testing
  • I20070516 -- TM 2.0M7 (17th is a public holiday in Austria!)

• Stability of this week's I-build for enablement testing is not too important --> Add importexport, useractions; DaveD to add persistence.
• All committers are in favor of the persistence changes

Bugs and open work to be discussed

• Current Priorities
  • Priority #1: Open Major Bugs - Copying issues, NPEs
    • Bugzilla: Severity Major, hi-priority
  • Priority #2: EFS: Martin, done
    • Open Remote Project on Startup: Get rid of IResource dependencies where possible; minimal plugin activations; UI/Non-UI
    • Copy(), Move() operations;
  • Priority #3: Remaining API changes for Persistence, Refresh etc.
    • Mostly DaveD and Martin
    • 182454 - what is the meaning of ISystemViewElementAdapter.getAbsoluteName()
      • DaveM: Original intent was providing a unique ID similar to an URI - any object should be uniquely identifiable by a string.
      • Used by Drag&Drop for instance, to allow windows native dnd support with a "filename"; also copy&paste, memento
      • Should be enforced, null should not be allowed
      • Should be unique within a single subsystem (multiple subsystems can have different elements with same absolute name)
    • Javier: FTP parallel download, allowing to register directory listing parser by extension point
    • Useractions / Importexport: - AI Martin add to nightly builds; AI DaveD, Kushal persistence with User Actions; Dave working on API prerequisites now; AI DaveM Import/Export

• General Guidelines
  • Avoid breaking API changes if possible (keep delegate methods, use deprecation)

Vacation, Away

• Kushal out 1/2 day on Tuesday (during meeting time), another 1/2 day on Wed and full day on Thur
• DaveD out on Friday 20th
