Greetings Architecture Council,
another week passed. We had some great discussions on whether to spend FEEP funding for fixing issues in Platform with quite controversial positions. I appreciate all the comments and positions.
Here is the latest version of the prioritized list of FEEP items:
Bug | Summary | Average | | 480176 | [FEEP] Allow user to discover plugins to edit a specific type of file | 1,5 | 21 | 479686 | [FEEP] Improve GTK 3.0 support | 1,5 | 22 | 482409 | [FEEP] Fix issues in Mac SWT port | 1,4 | 19 | 482236 | [FEEP] JVM selection UI in the launcher | 1,3 | 20 | 482034 | [FEEP] p2 improvements | 1,1 | 19 | 480547 | [FEEP] Prompt user to install additional plugins | 0,9 | 20 | 480177 | [FEEP] WTP XML editor technology face-lift | 0,8 | 20 | 482037 | [FEEP][platform] Fund a developer to triage and fix the most frequently occurring errors in Platform UI | 0,6 | 20 | 479536 | [FEEP] Improve Tooling Support for NullPointerAnalysis | 0,4 | 20 | 480551 | [FEEP] Enable "refresh using native hooks" | 0,4 | 20 | 480546 | [FEEP] Make everything available in Eclipse Marketplace | 0,3 | 20 | 480024 | [FEEP][jdt] Fund a developer to triage and fix the most frequently occurring errors in JDT | 0,4 | 20 | 481227 | [FEEP] Improve Dark Theme | 0,1 | 20 | 479541 | [FEEP] New Project Website for our IDE | -2,0 | 2 | 480550 | [FEEP] Tips & tricks dialog | -0,1 | 20 | 480553 | [FEEP] Review most used marketplace plug-ins | -0,8 | 20 |
FWIW, whether you do not vote or vote „0“ has a significant impact on the average. When considering no-vote as equal to 0, the order stays the same. When considering 0 as equal to no-vote, the order of some items changes significantly. For instance "[FEEP] Make everything available in Eclipse Marketplace“, goes up from 13 to 9. I assume that it reflects the intension of most voters that "no value" means "no opinion“ means „0“. I’ve added additional sheets to the voting sheet if you’d like to review.
The next architecture council meeting takes place on 2015-12-10. My aim is to get final AC agreement to send this list as „ AC’s prioritized list of recommended work items for FEEP #1“ to the FEEP organizers. I’m not sure whether this will work out as I hope - but my hope is that there will be no further discussions *during* the AC meeting about the priorities.
Thank you for voting and passionate discussions on the controversial topics. Marcel
