== Minutes ==

* Susan working on major UI refactoring
* Pulling out reusable code and creating basic operation API
* Currently UI in broken state, working through service configuration problems
* Private builds: https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/job/equinox_R3_6_api_cleanup/
* Susan is going to release current work to p2 api cleanup branch and continue working on it from there
* New UI bundle - reload project sets
* Multi-agent support available in branch
** Some parts of p2 still refer to global services but core parts are multi-agent aware
** Ready for PDE and others to give it a try
* Queries
** Should we support notion of visitors on IQueryable?
*** No. If we want to visit results that could be done via the collector
** Repository could implement collector in a way that lazily returns results to avoid having everything in memory
** Should we move to a predicate language to describe queries 'over the wire'
** Henrik/Thomas concern is that current query API is too flexible and impossible to implement on a remote repository
