Development Process Revised The Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors has approved a new revision to the Eclipse Development Process (EDP). The document now more closely reflects how our open source projects operate. The changes include the following:- The term "frameworks and tools" is now "frameworks and applications" to acknowledge that projects are creating deliverables that expand the traditional focus on tools.
- "Freedom of Action" has been added as a principle of the EDP. This formalizes the requirement that teams ensure the continued viability of the project by using only those resources approved by the Eclipse Foundation for critical project operations.
- New projects now require only one mentor from the Architecture Council.
- A new mailing list, incubation@xxxxxxxxxxx, provides a way for incubating projects to participate more directly with each other and with the Architecture Council. This list is open to everyone interested in the process, and we hope the community will use it to share hard-earned wisdom and help make our projects stronger.
Note that at the bottom of the document there is a list of issues addressed in the revision, and a link to a "diff" document that details the updates.
