Re: [tptp-news] TPTP profiling initiative

[Oliver E Cole <oec@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  I am the lead for the Eclipse TPTP project.

  Help us make the Profiler of the Gods :)

  TPTP is quite proud to be doing this initiative.  Every Java 
developer should have a solid profiling capability; it is a core tool in 
any development environment.  The TPTP profiler is shipped in some of 
our contributors products, so we are quite sure that the fundamental 
technology is solid, but we realize that there are some usability 
issues.  We have tried to address many of these in the most recent 
Ganymede delivery.

  Eugene's email announces an initiative by TPTP to get user feedback 
and incorporate it into the profiler to improve it's usability for the 
benefit of both the community and our contributing companies.   We plan 
on doing two iterations of this for the Galileo delivery; this is the 
first one, ending December 2nd, 2008.  By this coming June, we should at 
least have the Profiler of the Demi-Gods, if not POG itself ;)

   I congratulate (and pity ;) Eugene for stepping up to the plate on 
this one.  All of you who have done direct user support know the joy of 
having a good user to help you make the product better, and a poor user 
who quickly loses interest as he/she moves on to the next fun thing of 
the moment.

   Eugene, I hope you get good users!
