Process

ATF Openness topic from mailing list?
See the original post, and its follow-up replies.

Raghu to put together a checklist for how to lower the barrier to participation for all projects.
JSF libraries and the WTP charter. Need clarification.
All agreed that a charter change is unnecessary. Interpretation of the charter is as follows: We cannot develop tools for just one runtime, and a specific runtime cannot be required. The runtime needs to be swappable. This holds for the JSF case, as Apache MyFaces will also work.
Refactoring WTP
- Latest draft
- Should Releng be under Common? All agreed that it should be separate.
- All agreed we are ready for public review, later today.
Eclipse Membership on two JCP groups ( JSR-220 and JSR-314)
On hold till 8/13. This item should stay on the agenda until it is resolved.
