View source for Mylyn/m4 Proposal

WORKING DRAFT, comment via {{bug|404270}}

== Goal ==

The Goal of the m4 project is to create frameworks and APIs that create a discontinuous evolution of the Mylyn data model in order to support a common Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) model and tool implementations for Software Lifecycle Integration (SLI).

== Scope ==

The initial project scope includes:
* Open implementation of the SLI data model
* Bridge to Mylyn models: Tasks, Sources, Reviews, Builds
* Interoperability APIs for open standards (REST, OSLC/OASIS, Lyo)
* Focus on run-time deliverables (vs. client side Mylyn)
* Mylyn model support for cloud IDEs

== Deliverables ==

SDK
* Social task model
** Java and REST APIs
** Evolution of org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks API with links to ALM artifacts (..mylyn.versions, ..mylyn.builds, .. mylyn.reviews)
* TCK to validate connectors
* OSLC integration (via Eclipse Lyo)
