Eclipse Babel Project Development Meeting: 09/08/2008

Attendees:

• Kit
• Pat
• Karl
• Gregg
• Gabe
• Margaret

Minutes:

1. 2 co-ops working with Kit (John and Matt) have finished their internship and left.
2. Karl and a new co-op Gregg will continue to help the Babel project on a part time basis.
3. Eclipse Planning Council is working on the 3.5 project must-do and should-do list.
4. This is a good time to voice our input for a "Translatable String Freeze" date.
5. A freeze date will let the translators in the community know when to expect the majority of the translatable strings.
6. Translators can plan on their resources basing on this freeze date.
7. The current 3.5 plan is to have "API Freeze" in Milestone 6.
8. I think M6 is also a good time for a "Translatable String Freeze" since all projects should be pretty stable without too any API changes."
   • Kit will communicate this input to the Eclipse Planning Council.
9. [Bug 246152] Some P2 strings are not extracted to the Babel server for translation - Kit will work with Denis on this.
10. [Bug 244043] WTP 2.0.x is not included in the Babel Project - Kit will work with Denis on this.
