Martin - Update from yesterday's e4/Meeting Minutes/Status 20090122 call:
- Request that the Resources team inform the e4 UI team about any "user-visible" changes or changes in workflow. We should strive for consistency, and a single "story" of getting things done rather than multiple competing concepts.
- John has direct contact to Kevin McGuire and can act as the link, install e4 with serge's patches and show it to Kevin
- M1 (feb 6) build will go on the EclipseCon stick, so if we want to show anything it should go in there

Serge to backport his changes for bug 252996 resource filters, bug 229633 virtual groups and relative links into 3.5 ?
- John: Serge's current e4 work can be installed into 3.5, so if products want to leverage that they can install it into a 3.5 product
- Could see the work backported in early 3.6
- Proper support of the infrastructure (drag and drop, etc) requires changes in many other plugins... how to announce that? How to get those other bundles modified for e4? - AI Serge send an E-Mail to the e4 list
  - John: We can accept more plugins in e4, but the more we have the more merge issues we'll have. If Eric Moffat already has a repository for his backward compatibility work, we should re-use his bundles
  - Martin: experiment with better tooling for merges such as git - behind the scenes as a start
