[ecf-dev] 3.4M4a? and miscellany

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I propose doing another milestone build (3.4M4a) next week...probably 
Dec 26. 

Reasons: 

1) I missed/forgot to add the new Mylyn integration plugin to build, and 
it would be very good to have that in the distribution...if Remy thinks 
it is ready.
2) The p2 work is consuming the ECF filetransfer API, and a number of 
enhancements (e.g. asynch remote file system browsing) and a few bug 
fixes have just gone in since last friday (e.g. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=213642).  Also there is 
now much more test code for file transfer + providers, and it would be 
good use those new tests (which have some new dependencies) for p2 testing.
3) Ted found/resolved the issue with the Skype daily build 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=212362) and now daily 
builds will be produced correctly.  The M4 build is fine for Skype (the 
dailies have not been good for the past few weeks...just for Skype), but 
it would be nice to have another milestone build where we know from that 
point forward the dailies are good/OK.

Please let all know what you think.

Judith Merges, a graduate student has expressed interest in working with 
Mustafa and others on the ECF shared editing work.  Specifically, she 
wants to contribute to the creation of a shared graphical editor.  This 
sounds very exciting, and fits in great with our intended emphasis for 
ECF 2.0/Ganymede.  Please welcome Judith as she begins participating 
through mailing list, newsgroup, bugs/enhancements, etc.

Also...please vote on the nomination of Jan Rellermeyer for ECF 
committer if you haven't already.

There won't be an ECF conference call next week...and I think since 
everyone will be on holiday Jan 1 I'll try to reschedule for Jan 2 or 
perhaps Jan 3 to synch up after holidays.

And, finally...have a joyous holiday next week (if you are into that 
kind of thing :).

Scott
