Notes

• Our top goals
  • Grow the Communities - active users and adopters --> tutorial, docs, mailinglist help
  • Get the APIs Right --> enable public API discussion --> ISV docs, Wiki API discussion, [api] bugzilla's
  • Get our Processes in place --> JUnit, nightly builds, infocenter, update site

Latest News

Upcoming Work

• Top Priorities this week
  • #1 - Being responsive - on Newsgroup, Mailinglist and bug reports. We'll probably get lots of new users as we have RSE 1.0. Let's nurture our user community and encourage them to become contributors in case they have requests. Make sure that E-Mail notifications are turned on for bugzilla (and probably also the Wiki FAQ etc.)
  • #2 - Continue fixing bugs and improving documentation - Let's make sure that users who have problems with 1.0 can get a subsequent I-build as patch soon after. Let's make sure users get missing documentation wherever needed. Instead of answering a question by E-Mail, let's fix the corresponding documentation or FAQ and point the users to it.
  • #3 - Plan RSE 1.0.1 and RSE 2.0
• Work towards RSE 1.0.1
  • Do we consume RSE ourselves?
  • Start IBM and EMO review process for User Actions and Import/Export (DaveD)
    • Also need a CQ for two Userdoc files for the Internal Comms Daemon
  • Start creating Unit Tests, Testing feature (DaveD, Uwe)
  • Continue bug fixing on HEAD (All)
  • Continue bug verifications for all fixed bugs. Sombody else than the person fixing a bug should verify it.
  • Fix compiler warnings (Kushal) - prepare for running FindBugs
    • There is also the TPTP StaticAnalysis thing
  • Add ISV Javadoc where it is still missing or incorrect; review, and improve all docs
  • 1.0.1 non-breaking API changes: See Evolving Java-based APIs
• Work towards RSE 2.0
  • RSE 2.0 Planning - Finalize the 2.0 Project Plan
  • Think about limiting the API:
    • Make APIs internal
    • Along the way of updating documentation, and making Unit tests, we'll see some API we want "internal"
    • We should DOCUMENT these for now and DO it soon after 1.0.1
  • New bugs: REVIEW Assigned to Inbox, Status NEW
    • Open bugs: P1, P2 bugs, API bugs, Open with Patch,

Communications

• We should have a longer architecture / planning meeting for upcoming "larger" 2.0 changes soon. Possible Dates?
• DSDP/TM/Code_Ownership
• API changes: we'll not introduce any api changes between 1.0 and 1.0.1
  • But prepare for API changes soon after 1.0.1
• Shall we get rid of unused icons, e.g. rse.ui/icons/full/obj16/system390_obj.gif ?
• Shall we get rid of commented out source code ?
• Change Requests
• Vacations, Holidays etc.
• Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
