  • Bring ISV docs up-to-date -- needed for API discussions bug 149331 but more work to do.
    • Do a search&Replace for "com.ibm.etools" first, use a broken-link-tool then (e.g. download the site from http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/ with firefox; or just expand the jar)
    • Tutorial docs: DaveD or Kushal
  • Work on open bugs by priority
    • Open bugs: Open with Patch, P1 bugs, API bugs, P1, P2 bugs
• Other items
  • Please be responsive on bugs / api discussions
    • Please triage bugs in "New" state such that we get a handle on what's going on
    • Set them "Assigned" when you can handle them; Reassign when somebody else should work on them; add a comment and leave them "New" for now when you don't know what to do with them.
    • It's also OK to defer bugs past 1.0 by setting status to LATER
  • Manual test plans - Martin to start putting together something
  • EFS feature, Examples feature to be created by Martin
  • Jakarta Commons - hopefully EMO will complete review soon (currently 119 open!)
• Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
  • DaveD ok to work on the "big rock" bugs and ISV docs
