Hello Planning Council,
At the risk of starting a fight, is anyone else bothered by the
fact that this initial committer list is composed almost exclusively of IBM
engineers?
It seems that it’s time for the platform project to live up to
the diversity standard by which all other projects are judged. Perhaps Eclipse
4.0 is the time to make that change?

Subject: [eclipse.org-membership-at-large] Eclipse Project Announcement
andProject Review Schedule
Hello all,
Please see below for information about a new component, and
for the list of upcoming Eclipse project reviews. Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------
The Eclipse Project PMC is announcing a new
component, called E4, as part of the Eclipse Project Incubator.
Component Description:
During the Eclipse Project 3.4 release cycle, one of the important plan items
was "Create the Eclipse 4.0 Plan". The intent of this work was to
identify the most pressing issues that would impact the ongoing success of
Eclipse, and come up with a plan to address them. The result was the
design of a new platform "e4", which will be the basis for Eclipse
4.0.
The goal of the e4 component is to provide a public venue for the initial
explorations that were done, leading up to the e4 design. We expect to continue
to work in this area until we have reached consensus on how the full e4 effort
will be structured.
