WTP 3.0 End-Game

Are we done? Anyone investigating a potential stop ship bug?

  • The 3.0 Release pages should be reviewed by everyone to ensure accuracy. Information or screenshots in the New and Noteworthy may need updating, and there is a page for Release Notes. Good candidates for release notes include major fixes that were deferred to 3.0.1.

Code done by Wed. 6/11
Smoke tests on Thur. 6/12
"Unofficial Declare" on Friday 6/13

Builds

  • Currently running
  • Mintues:

Testing

  • Minutes:
Teams need to update the test results

Issues

This bug/issue is not marked fixed ... are we doing anything here?
The help has a file called "Limitations and Known Issues" - this functions as a type of readme so that users can easily search for problems that have known workarounds.

This will be kept in the help, team leads pls review current content and add anything extra

Kate has opened a bug 233531, please use to add updates using comments

Bug Lists to Ramp Down

All Blockers and Criticals (~14)
All Hot Bugs and Requests (~0)
All Remaining Targeted Enhancements (~1)
3.0 RC Blockers/Criticals (~1)
Remaining Targeted Bugs (~45)
Note: a 3.0.1 target was added to bugzilla (not M301 301), to better re-target some of the bugs.
Resolved but Unverified Blockers/Criticals By Assignee (~42)
  • Minutes:
Kaloyan: 3.0P, 1.5.5P targets will be created
use whiteboard to explain how the patch can be provided
will create a wiki page to document this
David: All patches are cumulative

WTP 3.0.1

  • Guideline
In general, the minimum requirement is that if you branch a plug-in, you need to branch all the plug-ins in the corresponding map file. This is to make it easier for others to know what to load, to "be current" in a maintenance branch. It is fine to branch everything in a sub-project if you choose to, but still need to correspond to what's in a map file, and the map file should be updated to explain what it's used for. Map files can be re-organized some, if that helps make it easier to organize and understand what teams are working on what.
The names for branches should follow the pattern of 'R3_0_maintenance'. This will be the name for all 3.0.x maintenance work (not just the first, 3.0.1 maintenance work). Note that JSF and JPA code may use R2_0_maintenance, but their map files, will still be branched using R3_0_maintenance.
  • Minutes:
David: build will be available as early as tonight
build system wil be slow but this will happen occasionally
How to add calendars to a webpage
DaveC: XSLT tooling page
Helen to embed

Performance Focus (Kaloyan)

No progress for the last two weeks. Still fighting with the Results Graph Generator.

  • Minutes
Kaloyan: a collegue is getting familiar with this, no progress so far

API Tools/Scans (Kaloyan)

Can we run reports? Though they are hard to spot errors since out of date ... perhaps we can "diff" reports?

Other business

BobF: meta-data: happy to round up the webpage?
David: some projects do not point to a pheonix style page
Action: by July: sub-project to get rid of or update pages to be consistent with pheonix style page

Focus on Backlog and Quality metrics (Neil)

Current Focus Item
  • Options are
  • Target bug for a release or "future"
  • Mark as Invalid or Wont Fix
Upcoming Focus Item
Past Focus Items
  • Invalid - Enhancement does not fit with the scope of the project or is already implemented.
  • helpwanted keyword - This is a valid request, but due to committer resources and other priorities, outside help will be needed to make this happen.
  • Future - I would use this in conjunction with the helpwanted keyword. I use this for legitimate requests that are important but will not make any planned release, but likely will make a future release.
  • Before July 1st, 2007 - 21
Where did they all go?
  • Minutes:
Neil: will focus on untargeted enhancements again after Release of 3.0
