- Get our Processes in place --> JUnit, nightly builds, infocenter, update site
- Latest News
- Martin -- Finished up M4: New "Getting Started" tutorial, updated update site, website, blog; some ssh fixes; sort of prepared the nightly build for unit tests (using "basebuilder"), but some work to be done

- Advertisments: What will be our next steps? - RSE 2.0 Planning page
- Probably build RSE 1.1 in december, probably out of the HEAD stream.
- Bugs assigned to M4 milestone
- Comments?
- Upcoming Work
- M5 plan - Sep 22: Localization, API Polish, Avoid Platform internal access, JUnit]
- Localization not an issue for 1.0
- Be Bold: Address "big rocks", major or risky changes, structure changes/additions at the beginning of this milestone iteration!
- Be Smart: Add JUnit early!
- Release Review to be scheduled Wed, Sep.27. Any P1,P2 bug we have by then needs explanation.
- Features: Jakarta-commons, JUnit-framework, Discovery, EFS-Experimental, WR-Terminal (bug 152826)
- Refactorings: 2 more weeks, then we should really be done!
- Kushal IConnectorService
- Subsystem Factory vs. Configuration: API most probably to change by 2.0 so dont invest too much right now. Make a note that the name is in transition ("factory..configuration") in the ISV docs (not the javadoc) - architecture overview
- Drag & Drop - DKM
- API Things
- Service Error Reporting - bug 149472 - DaveD - API ok so far, final resolution? --> Create new different bug id for that one.

- SystemRegistry.createHost for Javier
- bug 150168 dont commit immediately - DaveD
- bug 150265 allow specifying subsystem types - DaveM - wait for Javier to return
- Making stuff internal - ssh, ftp: Martin; Core: List of candidates from DaveD?
- Simple API enhancements from bugzilla? - Most can be deferred to later; Martin to review and update priority if needed.
- Obsolete API that's in the Platform now --> See RSE 2.0 Planning page
- Martin wants to get rid of obsolete code for 1.0 if possible
- Kushal to investigate rseConfigDefaults
- popupMenus extension point - because we are not dealing with Eclipse Resources; makes it a bit easier to define filters; to be reviewed again for 2.0
- passwordPersistence: Kushal to chat with Don and find out what these are for (Password Preference Page: Add password button)

- Bug Work - please observe priorities
- DaveD: Team stuff
