We discussed two issues and produced one action item. We adjourned
early to allow ourselves 30 minutes to work on the action item.
We discussed what we should be creating for the architecture diagram
for the Roadmap. Is it a summary of the current state? Is it a
discussion of the future and forward looking architecture? Is it useful
to the existing projects or is it just seen as a waste of time
providing no benefit to the teams? We concluded that we needed to have
documentation of the existing architecture before we could do anything
more forward looking so we resolved (ok, ok, Bjorn browbeat everyone
into agreeing) to spend a half-hour writing up their current view of
the Eclipse Platform architecture. These emails might provoke
discussion on our mailing list, plus Bjorn is going to merge these all
into a discussion document for our next call.
ACTION ITEM: Spend a half-hour to write up what you see as the
current Eclipse architecture.
The other item we discussed was what to do about plug-ins that require
too many other plug-ins. Kai had a number of examples, but we decided
that in order to have a reasonable discussion, we needed to send the
examples/issues around in advance of the call to allow time for
everyone to prepare.
