[nebula-dev] Nebula committers - action required

[Chris Gross <schtoo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nebula Committers,

We have not spoken much about release plans for the Nebula project as a 
whole.  While our widgets are generally packaged individually we still 
need to set and release versions.  This allows our users to know and 
understand what to expect regarding support.  In other words, once a 
widget is released they can expect to get fixes without having to endure 
the risk of new features.  In order to stay simple, we should release 
the first version of Nebula to coincide with the 3.3 release of 
Eclipse.  I don't think anyone should have a problem with this (its 
about 6 months away) but let me know if you do. 

What I need from each of you is a personal commitment to prepare your 
widget (i.e. make em stable) for the 3.3 release.  This would require 
you ensure that your widget can be delivered in the 3.3 timeframe 
(June/July 07).  I also need a commitment from everyone to complete the 
following things:

Javadoc - Professional development requires professional docs.  We 
should also strive to match the SWT convention for javadoc including the 
standard formatting for widget styles and events and the @throws in 
method javadoc.
Website pages - each widget should have a page on www.eclipse.org/nebula
Examples - each widget should provide an example tab in the examples project
Snippets - each widget should have a few snippets demonstrating simple 
usage.

Our current committer list is:
Chris (me)
Jeremy
David
Eric
Nicolas

I need a commitment from Jeremy and David.  Eric and Nicolas have yet to 
pass the Eclipse IP process.  Eric, Nicolas, can both of you give me a 
status of where you stand in that process?  Have you been assigned 
commit rights?  Have you been given any indication by the Eclipse folks 
when you can except IP approval?

Regards,
-Chris
