Bugs and open work to be discussed
- Current Priorities
- Priority #1: Finish API Changes
- Javier: FTP parallel download, allowing to register directory listing parser by extension point
- What about Commons.Net class in the Extension Point API? What about having extension point in the Service?
- DaveD: Persistence (for UDA) - independent of IResource?; UI/Non-UI
- DaveM: 184322 IProgressMonitor added to file system APIs: need to document whether null is allowed as paramter or not, both for IFileService and IRemoteFileSubSystem!!
- Should we have a common guideline of having the progress monitor first, or last?
- bug 182221: IRemoteFileSubSystem should forward exceptions rather than handling them with dialogs - Decision was to pragmatically start converting simple methods - who should do it?
- Martin: 177523 getInstance; 175680 cleanup ISystemRegistry - probably bring more into non-UI; 173042 Refresh; 172650 Capabilities; 176461 expand-to-level; 170910 Integrate Terminalview; 185098 constants for system types; 185097 make getCoreRegistry() simpler
- Michael: Small API improvements for Terminal (with xyzmodem, 165893
- Javier: FTP parallel download, allowing to register directory listing parser by extension point
- Priority #2: Import/Export and User Actions
- Import/Export should be complete - did anybody except DaveM test it? What about User Docu?
- AI DaveD, Kushal persistence with User Actions; Dave working on API prerequisites now;
- Priority #3: Bugs
- Bugzilla: Severity Major, hi-priority
- 167620 Select and Delete in the Main thread
- Encoding Issues: Kushal single encoding control for all subsystems? 179939 What about binary vs. ASCII file transfer?
- Get rid of the binary vs. ASCII Preference page?

- AI DaveD to follow up on the concrete bug 183631 and fix it, to get experience with ICU4J
- EFS: Copy(), Move(); Open Remote Project on Startup: Get rid of IResource dependencies where possible; minimal plugin activations; UI/Non-UI
