W.r.t. the Callisto update
site question: At the recent Planning Council meeting in SF, David Williams
volunteered to organize an update site for Callisto as a whole. However,
I’m sure he would appreciate help as well as information about any limitations
or known issues, such as those mentioned below. Thanks,

------------------- 
 Discussion Topics 
------------------- 

Rel Eng.: 
- Should our features be changed to point to a new update site?  
  Currently all features point to the http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.0
  which is not useful.  We can't collocate 3.0, 3.1.x and 3.2
updates in the 
  same site. Update does not provide a mechanism to install new a
new 
  startup.jar and eclipse executable.
  - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123165
- On a related note, what is the plan for the Callisto release with respect
  to update jars.  Currently, we copy update jars and update
the site.xml 
  for other projects that request to be included the platform update
site. 
  Is there going to be a master update site for Callisto or will there
be a 
  more distributed approach?
