Hi Wayne
Everybody that is actively participating in this group is either on
the
AC or should be.
Wayne, I'm not.

I'm thinking that the need for the Platform Vision group to meet on a
bi-weekly basis has passed.
I believe that everything that we've been talking about lately is
appropriate for a more general audience, e.g. the Architecture
Council.
Everybody that is actively participating in this group is either on
the AC
or should be.
Is there any objection to suspending our biweekly call in favour of
adding
content to the monthly AC call?

The Eclipse Foundation has engaged with UX experts to review the
initial
user experience with Eclipse. This includes the website, download, and
installation process. Ideally, we'd like to look at the Welcome page
as
well, but I'm pretty sure that we don't have the resources right now
to
actually implement any changes.
Pascal is working on code changes and tests to various parts of
Eclipse
(p2, launcher, tycho) including changing the Mac layout and packaging
as a
.dmg file. It would be great if Pascal can elaborate on the call.
We've the UX experts on the Oomph Installer. Eike and--with help from
Yatta--put some serious UX work into the installer. Eike presented it
to
the UX folks last week. I am concerned that some of the the project
descriptions (e.g. targets) in the Oomph repository have gotten stale.
Keeping these up to date is a challenge that we (collectively) need to
address.
The "profiles" work that we've been investigating is an extension to
the
Oomph notion of packages and configurations. A profile is a higher
level
concept that combines the package definition with the workspace
configuration. The idea is to make it possible for users to snapshot
and
share their profiles. This also includes the ability to capture and
share
preferences. I'm not happy with the term "profile" as it suggests
personal
information (e.g. Facebook profile), but we haven't come up with an
alternative. We've decided to defer profiles, as there just isn't
enough
time for Mars.
Buildship (Gradle) CQs have been created and we have code. The
Planning
Council has rejected their inclusion in Mars. We've engaged to Tools
PMC
to attempt an appeal. Any ideas you might have are welcome.
I'd like to talk a bit about the composition of the "Eclipse Project"
Marketplace.
