the M9 release phase, and the team is on target to achieve this. Only 2 
new major bugs have been uncovered. The total number of bugs and 
requests for future releases is currently 244. The team is confident 
this number will drop.

Arrival rates have dipped under 100 per week. Agreement that it would be 
useful to make these reports more widely available.

scheduled to go into the release.

etc, are both documenting the IBM additional requirements suggestions 
and will publish these prior to the face to face meeting.

their perspective at this current time were the data collection 
infrastructure, including access to firewalls, and scalability.

to Hyades scalability.
ACTION - Mike to contact Dave Thomson regarding Eclipse post 3.0 plans.

requirements suggestions and resend Scapa requirements.

5) Internal and external communication

on both Mike and Gian Franco's feedback, and will distribute updated 
documents to the group (on hyades-dev). He has some resource to edit and 
proof-read the document prior to uploading this to the website.
- Scapa is to use the posters from EclipseCon for the upcoming Eclipse 
reception event at ICSE in Edinburgh (May 27th). Melanie is collecting 
these for submission to the event organisers. Neil Sanderson, Antony

Richard Duggan's (IBM) has yet to be received. Harm will ask him to send 
this.
