Re: [epp-dev] project plan

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

in the project proposal we had defined the following milestones:

 2007-02 0.5M1: initial definition of entry level downloads
 2007-03 0.5M2: Basic implementation of EPP platform
 2007-05 0.5M3: Feature complete for Europa release
 2007-06 0.5: Beta availability for all Eclipse projects

But let me comment on that plan:

- M1 was from my point of view not a real milestone; the definition of entry 
level downloads (especially the content) is an ongoing process and still 
needs refinements.

- M2: We delivered only one demo package based on 3.3M6 to gain some feedback 
from the community. In this case you are completely right: That was not 
enough, but it is caused by the lack of time and, what is more important, we 
are still waiting for the IP approval (see IPZilla #1395). Ian, maybe we can 
come back to your offer to speed things up in that area?

In the end I am still confident that we will see the next packages soon. But 
we should consider to mention real dates and better description of the 
content of the milestone releases!

Markus
