[wtp-dev] Upcoming important dates for WTP M3

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Its that time of the cycle again, so
thought I would explicitly summarize what's been
discussed and written in many different
talks and notes and plans.

2/10 - Thursday - regular I-build ...
most teams are planing to have all planned major
        function
"in the build" by this I-build
        (its no
show-stopper if not there, but, if not there, a note to this list would
        help keep
everyone aware of status and last minute changes still coming).

2/11 - Friday. move up to latest Eclipse
M5 I-build, and "all the latest" of GEF,
        EMF/XSDInfoset,
and JEM.
        (early peeks
indicate there will be roughly 42 compile errors when we first move
        up, so several
teams have some work to do).

2/18 - Friday, Final Test Plans and
new mini-tutorials for new function for this
        Milestone,
from each component team (please update previous tutorials where
        changed,
include some regression testing on previous function,
        but focus
on new function just added -- and remember, no need to wait until this
        final deadline
if you can provide earlier!).

2/18 - Friday - Final Eclipse M5 due

2/19 - Saturday, move up to final M5
and pre-reqs (can build team can work weekend?,
        if so, I
suggest one person from each component team be available on weekend to
        keep them
company, and sanity test the results, to be sure there's
        no serious
issues that would prevent further final testing during the week)

2/21 - 2/-25  Monday through Friday.
Milestone shutdown testing, serious bugs fixed

2/25 - Friday - final M3 build declared
and promoted to web site

2/28 - EclipseCon -- I've listed this
fast-approaching date here to emphasize the
        importance
of stability for those preparing demos, etc.


Please let me know if I've missed (or
misunderstood) anything.
