[ecf-dev] ECF - Der Plan for Application Work

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Now that the configurationWizards and connectWizards extension points 
are in place, I'm planning for ECF application development prior to 1.0.

In the immediate term, I would like to focus all attention on:

1) Connect wizards for a) XMPP; b) IRC; c) Generic Client; d) Generic 
Server.  Documented in wiki here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_Connect_and_Configuration_Extensions

And with bugs listed on that page.

2) Work on Buddy List/Roster View as discussed here (under Requirements 
and Design ideas):

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_Application_Refactoring

Please participate by assigning yourself a bug (one of those listed on 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_Connect_and_Configuration_Extensions) 
or by participating in the work on the Buddy List redesign (see wiki 
page http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ECF_Application_Refactoring).

I would like to have these things for the 0.9.5 release of ECF, 
targeting 12/15/06.

I'm planning on 0.9.4 for 12/1/06.  Will not include the above, but will 
include new UI configuration and connect extension points, 
deploy/install fixes, and other bug fixes resulting from API refactoring.

Scott
