Re: [ide4edu-dev] Priorities

I'm not sure about other universities, but our last official day of classes seems to be April 12 this year. Of course, then we have exams and stuff start shortly thereafter. I would set a final milestone around then. (Keeping in mind, we have other courses, and they are probably going to do the same).

I'd like to concentrate on UI de-cluttering and general usability. (IMO, the UI is everything for the 1st time user, and I think that is what turns them off the most when they see 3000 options and don't know what any of them do). Going to concentrate on the main (IDE4EDU) release for now - can always port the code later to the scheme plugin once we got it all worked out.

Also, UI de-cluttering should also indirectly help with your priority #2, in that we will also most likely need to create our own wizards, etc, and then we hopefully won't need to access as many non-APIs.

Thanks,
Cory.

FWIW, my two highest priorities wrt IDE4EDU are:

1) Get a proper build working (Bug 288663)
2) Remove code that accesses non-API (Bugs 300275 and 300672)

I will update the project plan accordingly. I will set a milestone date that coincides with the end of the UCOSP term. Can somebody give me the date for that? I'll set the release date for sometime during the summer.

Does anybody else want to express their priorities for this release?
