Feel free to edit, but not during the meeting

Serge to blog about his changes - will do once tried out with the downloadable e4 builds
John: Should make sure to prepare a build for M1 (Feb-6) that actually works (also discussed in the e4 E4/Meeting Minutes/Status 20090108)
Chris - bug 215261: who would care about the new physical/logical API?
- Intended for external tools (distinguish physical files from stuff in a database / archive / webserver etc)
- Should not break any existing functionality
- Doug wants to get rid of special logical/physical handling in CDT
- Martin: the "adapter" approach seems to be in line with what Java7 file system API does with attributes (PosixAttributes, Win32Attributes, ...): when I know that I need to feed an external tool, try to adapt the IFileStore to an IPhysicalFileStore
Doug wants to do "CDT Remote" tutorial at EclipseCon without RSE
- Chris: Problems with drag&drop / copy&paste from project explorer into remote FS
- Martin: Needs to file + prioritize RSE bug
- Doug wants an EFS implementation for quick turnaround / testing - something to drive into e4 resources
Special @since tags for API Reports?
- Martin: might not be necessary thanks to API Tooling Reports, but will continue investigation
- @since tags: put the version of the bundle (e.g. 3.100); should be easy to search&replace if going for different version number
