Internal build working, more help files done, migrated to M6. Still working on releasing to WTP build process.
No new conference notices.
Greater dev involvement in newsgroup answering questions (increased responsiveness to user community).

PMC reviewed API statistics
Time series / convergence tracking not yet available.
Bulk of APIs are in the j2ee.core component.
Good progress on removing unintended APIs: dropped roughly 30% from previous week; overall metric is 48/100.
Summary from April 1st I-build report: 4,326 APIs, 26% JUnit coverage, 77% JavaDoc coverage, 0% overview coverage (this is a reporting bug). See http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/I-I20050331-200503312230/apitools/api-progress.html.

Minutes from last week�s meeting available at: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/requirements_call_notes/2005-03-30.html.
Group deciding on forum for community feedback on draft requirements/specification (existing newsgroup may be too noisy for this purpose).

Ted Bashor and Chuck Bridgham volunteered to update the architectural overview document.
XSL contribution under review; may need to create new component as a home for it.
M6 migration resulted in a variety of build problems; platform ripple effect was severe (see bug #90231).

From JK email: OpenWide is planning to work on an XPDL editor that integrates with web tools and they would be interested in contributing to the project. Does the PMC consider XPDL to be a de jure standard? http://www.wfmc.org/standards/XPDL.htm
JK: We are not precise about which standards bodies we admit to WTP; need to clarify our position. Agreed to table this until next meeting (need quorum).
