Hello,
I am working on the slides for the WTP Update talk at the Eclipse Summit
Europe 2008. You can see the outline below. I'd like to discuss it in
the PMC call today.
As you can see the "New features in Ganymede" topic is quite large.
Unfortunately, I cannot spend more than 20 minutes on it. I need a
strategy how to shrink the list of new features down. This is my main
problem at the moment. Another topic that I'd like to hear from you is "Interesting news for
future development". I have just listed what I am currently aware of. Do
you think something else should be added to the list? Or removed?

And, of course, any general feedback is welcome!

Greetings,
Kaloyan
