Invited Guests: Leah Findlater

Others: Lawrence Mandel [LM]

Leah Findlater and the WTP usability research project

• Leah is a PhD student at Univ. of BC. performing an Eclipse-based usability study.
• Goal of the study is to see how functions and commands are used in WTP - patterns of use, frequency of use, etc. and how this information can be exploited to better organize or design the UI.
• Study monitor, an extension of the Mylar usage monitor, will be used to record navigation and user interface interaction; the results will be uploaded to the study's servers. Written and verbal feedback will also be gathered.
• The study's results will be shared with the development team.

Community Update [LM]

• Project sprint request in Bugzilla for EclipseCon; Bjorn will be scheduling next week. Each component lead (or designate) should plan to provide a status report/plan summary, followed by a general Q and A/meet and greet.

Procedural [TW]

• I'll be coordinating with Janet this week on various IP issues; if you have any additional requests, I need to know this week so that we have sufficient time to close on them: WSIL DTDs (defect 127679), Axis 1.3, Sybase contribution review, Cactus, IBM hosted J2EE DTDs and schemas (defect 104086).

1.0.1 Status

• Expecting candidate build to be complete by Wednesday (start of cool-down period). Changes are likely Thu/Fri.

1.0.2 Discussion/Planning

• Targeting April 21st. Like 1.0.1, maintenance stream will be limited to specific bug fixes blocking adopters - no API or UI changes will be introduced.

Callisto / 1.5 Status

• Requirements clarified in last Friday's call; WTP will need to adhere to the Callisto requirements list, but we're very close to meeting them already.
• See David's email regarding warnings (as of the M5 adoption); situation needs to be investigated team by team.

Architecture [DW]
