[eclipse.org-committers] Eclipse Project Announcement and Project Review Schedule

Hello all,

Please see below for information about a new component, and for the list of upcoming Eclipse project reviews. Thanks.

Anne Jacko

-----------------------------------------------

The Eclipse Project PMC is announcing a new component, called E4, as part of the Eclipse Project Incubator.

Component Description: 

During the Eclipse Project 3.4 release cycle, one of the important plan items was "Create the Eclipse 4.0 Plan". The intent of this work was to identify the most pressing issues that would impact the ongoing success of Eclipse, and come up with a plan to address them.  The result was the design of a new platform "e4", which will be the basis for Eclipse 4.0. 

The goal of the e4 component is to provide a public venue for the initial explorations that were done, leading up to the e4 design. We expect to continue to work in this area until we have reached consensus on how the full e4 effort will be structured.
