- Top Priorities this week:
- #1 - Hi-priority bugfixing
- Deciding a schedule for the Release
- Weekly release candidates each Friday (10/20, 10/27), release as soon as we have a "go" from all committers. Oct.20 will not be final release candidate.
- Shooting for Oct.27 for final release candidate & fixing all hi-pri bugs. One more build may be required on Nov.4 after testing.
- Exit criteria: all P1/P2 bugs fixed; defer bugs to a service release.
- Discussed pros and cons of an early release.
- Upcoming Work
- New bugs: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox, Status NEW
- Open bugs: P1, P2 bugs, API bugs, Open with Patch,
- Our biggest problems right now
- Drag&Drop
- Events/Updates/Refresh; Dirty Editors
- New bugs: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox, Status NEW
- Communications
- Missing / Incomplete Copyrights - fixes look good, please use UTF-8 as character set for projects
- Code Ownership - DSDP/TM/Code Ownership - DaveD to edit (for self).
- Questions from ESE RSE Demo - DaveM to comment on these at some point
- File locking? No locking mechanism yet. May include synchronize perspective in future releases. RSE will detect remote file changes, though.
- How do you write agents?
- Is there any tools support for writing agents? Not yet. TPTP?
- Any standardization of agents between projects? Not to our knowledge. TPTP?
- Can I share a connection with a debugger? Yes, but you will need to build some smarts in to support this.
- If the connection to the target system is lost, can I continue editing, reconnect, and then synchronize?
- Change Requests
- "Remote Shell" -> "RSE Shell" ? Implications for other views? Decided against doing this for now since this can be quite disruptive to documentation. Not sure "RSE Shell" is the right term.
- Vacations, Holidays etc.
- Martin - 1 more week until Oct.23; public holidays Oct 26, Nov 1-2
- DaveD taking Oct 20 off
- Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
- EclipseCon 2007 coming in March. Call for Papers has been issued. Martin (and perhaps DaveM) will submit proposal for 2 hour tutorial.
