Re: [tools-leads] Welcome Tools Project Leads ... and work to do for Hel

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I never did introduce myself ... I'm
on Tools PMC, I lead Orbit Project, WTP PMC, and chair the Planning Council.


Anthony is the Tools PMC representative
to the Planning Council, but ... I thought I could combine my introduction
with a reminder to fill in the Helios Tracking information at the Foundation's
Portal. 

From a quick peek it appears the tools
project's below all plan to release with Helios, right? And about half
of those have started the tracking forms, and half not. 

started:

tools.gef
tools.mylyn
tools.pdt

not started:

tools.buckminster
tools.cdt 
tools.ptp
tools.ptp.photran

Do you in "ptp" actually have
two projects to release? 
And track separately? 
If possible, it'd be best to "track
with parent" so there's only one form to fill out. 

I bring all this up now, for 2 reasons:


1. We are here to help, and we are getting
near the end of Helios: the end of M7 is 2 to 4 weeks away. While many/any
question can be asked on "cross-project" list, if you think it
is a "Tools Project Lead" type question, feel free to ask here.


2. We will soon (maybe by end-of-week?)
have the ability to view a "summary page" of all the tracking
data for all the projects releasing in Helios, and I'd like nothing better
than the "tools" section to show up nice and green! Or, at least
"has started". :)  And some of the fields are very easy
to fill in. 

So, be sure to ask if you have questions,
and/or say early if there are any problems or issues or anything we can
do to help. 

Thanks,
