Hi DSDP project leads.  A few of us are meeting with Eddie C
from SD Times for an interview tomorrow.
 
These are some of the questions he is going to ask.  Mark,
Martin, and Mika:  can you prepare written answers for each of these?  Shigeki:
this is option for you, but if 
you’d like me to talk about the NAB project, please provide some
information.
 
Sorry for the last-minute email.
 
Thanks,
 
Doug

Subject: Questions for tomorrow's call
 
 
 
Hi
Doug:
 
I
thought it might be helpful for you to have the questions in advance of
tomorrow’s call. 
 
I
don’t make a habit of this, but since another project lead needed them this
way, I thought I’d offer you the same. 
 
You
and the other project leads have the option of answering the questions via
e-mail, but 
 
ANSWERS MUST BE IN
COMPLETE SENTENCES and 
 
must
be to me NO LATER THAN 12 NOON, FRIDAY, 9/22. 
 
It would be ideal if you could get answers to me today, any time. 
 
The questions are fairly non-technical and hopefully will give you
no trouble.
 
IMPORTANT: Please ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES:
 
I also would like a photo of each lead, if available. 
 
Questions for each of the subproject leaders:
 
1- What is the planned date for the next major release of your
project? Version number?
 
2- What are the most important features to be added in this
release? 
 
3- What are the major benefits of those features?
 
4- Will anything be left out of this release, and if so, what? 
 
5- When will those left-out features be added? 
 
6- The tool will run on which major operating systems? (Linux,
Windows, MacOS) 
 
7-  The tool requires which version of Eclipse? 
 
8- The tool plugs into an existing Eclipse install does it install
a new distribution? 
 
9- Would you consider the project “mostly framework” or “mostly
tool” and why? 
10- What are the purpose and intended user group(s) for your project? 
 
11- What other Eclipse projects does EMF have dependencies on? 
 
12- Please provide your full name, title, project and your role in
it. 
 
Thanks in advance.
