Minutes

• Please take a look at all bugs assigned to you marked M3 and update as needed
• Look at bugs marked 3.5 to see if they still make sense and are achievable for 3.5
• We will have a test writing day Thursday (October 30th)
• We reviewed the M3 plan, and will update status of M3 items this week
• Next week we will go over the M4 plan so please check it to see if there is anything missing or on the plan but not achievable
• Can FrameworkAdmin provide source bundles?
  • Currently PDE reads the source.info file itself, but wants to be isolated from the file location and format
  • There is a source manipulator separate from fwAdmin
  • We'll enter a bug to track addition of some p2 support for this
• Can we support the product ini file having a different name than executable?
  • Difficult to detect what ini file is correct for a given product
• Feedback on new UI
  • Note UI in M3 is a work in progress and will change further in M4
  • One click check for updates is good. Need to add ability to consult additional sites during update
  • Pre-loading of repositories before opening install/update dialogs greatly improves usability
  • Currently presentation is a bit fragmented between various dialogs, but this will be streamlined in M4
