'''1.  What does the IP Team look for when reviewing code attached to CQs? ''' 
+
 
+
In addition to amusing comments from the authors of the code, we look for [http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/a/ae/Eclipse_Provenance_and_Licensing_Considerations_v1.2.pdf these kinds of things.]
+
 
+
 
+
'''2.  Why are committers asked to enter one CQ per jar file?'''
+
 
+
Using examples, a long-winded [http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/c/c6/Why_One_CQ_per_Jar_File.pdf answer] to that age-old question.
+
 
+
 
+
'''3.  To enter a CQ for third party package, or not to enter one.........''that'' is the question.'''
+
 
+
Maybe a handy [http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/6/60/Third_party_package_requirement.pdf flowchart] will help (we like flowcharts :-)).

'''4.  My project is going to Move or Graduate.  I know it's recommended that I create an automated IP log from [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Automatic_IP_Log here], or if for some funky reason that isn't working, I can create it manually based on this [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-log.php template].  But what does the IP Team look for when reviewing the IP log?'''

+
Well, we look at a few things so it may be a good idea to parse it out. <br />
+
 
+
a)  We check your committer list to make sure it matches what we have in our database. <br />
+
b)  The contribution section to should uniquely identify the component (CVS directory), bug # (description if there is no bug # or if there are multiple bug #s), contributor's name, contribution size (LOC), committer who committed this contribution.  <br />
+
c)  In the third party software section, we look for CQ numbers, package names and associated licenses.  Then we check to make sure that all the CQs listed for the move / graduation have been resolved and fixed as approved.  We sometimes end up having quite a bit of feedback with projects on this section, so we've put together another handy [http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/5/57/Project_Graduation_or_Move_v5F.pdf flowchart] that addresses the most common scenarios.
