[eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] e4 proposal - making it "official"

[Kevin McGuire <Kevin_McGuire@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

As you know, a draft of the e4 project
proposal is up on the wiki at http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Project_Proposal.
 We will need to transition it from a 'public-edit' mode to a 'frozen'
mode to have an official project review.  In speaking with the EMO,
we can have Sept. 3 for the official project review.  Just
a reminder to add your section to the proposal if there is specific work
you'd like to do on the project (see section "Additional Details of
Work Areas").

1) I'd like to propose that we close
the "public-edit" phase by Sunday August 10th.  This
will have given us almost 3 weeks in edit mode and 3+ weeks in review mode.
 At this time, email notices of the intended project creation will
be sent out via the general mailing lists.

2) We will need committer bios [1] as
part of the proposal, and we have a big committer list. Please edit
the proposal wiki and add your bio, either in place or linked.


[1]   The Creation Review must include a short
bio of the proposed initial committers. Not a life story, but their relationship
to and history with the incoming code and/or their involvement with the
area/technologies covered by the proposal. The goal is to help keep any
legacy contributors connected to new project and explain that connection
to the current and future Eclipse membership, as well as justify the initial
Committers' participation in a meritocracy. 

Thanking you,
Kevin McGuire
