Plan items targeted to WTP 3.2

Schedule

M6 03/12 - API, UI Freeze. Accessibility Reports.

M7 04/30

RC1 05/14 (followed by weekly RCs, if needed)

Final WTP 3.2 build 06/10

(06/23 Helios Release)

Note: these (and our plan dates) are on 'Friday' of the week. But, we produce and test the build on Thursday of the week, and ideally declare on Thursday. The dates in the Google Web Tools group calendar are for 'Thursdays' since that's a calendar for committers. We give ourselves the buffer to Friday, as our "public" date, that others can pick up our build, just in case a regression is found on Thursday and we have to respin and retest. [Technically, some might say, we still have till the following Tuesday or Wednesday for "Simultaneous Release" due date ... but it's hard to do much in that window, without disrupting everyone ... so we'd not use that buffer, except for the worst emergencies.]

Other business

• Need to update Web Tools Platform Plans to include JSDT.

Done ... but ... now webtools.jsdt plan link is broken?

• Need "policy and practice" on marking bugzilla items so they show up as "deffered". (Raghu)

The recommended practice for marking plan items as deferred is to set the Target Milestone to 'Future' as in:

keywords=plan&target_milestone=Future

If sub-projects have different criteria, Project leads should adjust the query in the plan. Some of the sub-projects have used the following criteria:

keywords=plan&target_milestone=-

keywords=plan&target_milestone=4.0

• We need to improve website content.

• we require some quick changes for JUnit V4

• Accessibility checklist required by end of M6 (at latest)
