Re: [wtp-dev] WTP EclipseCon Project Sprint - call for participation

Yes, Lawrence, thanks for organizing.
It'll be nice to meet and mingle with those interested in extending or
building on 
WTP. I'll propose a few "editing"
topics I think would be of general interest to add-on providers. 
My proposal would be to have each of
these be "one slide long", just 10 minutes or so, more to 
point people in the right direction
and inform them of what's possible, rather than a full "how to".
Then 
we'll see what the interest is and where
the discussions lead. 

        Overview
and philosophy and goals of WTP Editors - David

        example
xml editor customized for cheat sheet editing - Jens

        How to create
mulitpage editor with XML Source Page as the source page - Nitin

        validation
and source page validation - ?Craig? and/or Amy


Note to add-on providers which follow
this list: 
you might also reply to this note with
what you are interested in ... 
not sure if that was explicit in Lawrence's
note, but I'm sure was intended.

Subject	[wtp-dev] WTP EclipseCon Project Sprint - call for participation

Hello WTP developers, 

The WTP project is hosting a Project Sprint at EclipseCon on Mon. Feb.
28, starting at 6:00pm. The Project Sprint will be an event for developers
that want to extend the WTP. 

Here's how the sprint will work. 20-30 minutes will be allotted to a topic,
where a topic is something like 'Adding a server to the WTP' or 'Extending
the Server Tooling'. A topic leader will introduce the topic and give a
short overview of it, highlighting what's possible with this part of the
WTP. The rest of the time will be an open discussion among the people in
the room. The Project Sprint can go as long as we like and we will probably
have room for 10-15 topics. 

This event is a great opportunity to: 
1. Give developers a chance to see what extensions are/will be available
from the WTP. 
2. Give WTP developers a chance to see how the community wants to extend
the project. 
3. Allow WTP developers to meet our customers and vice versa.

I encourage all of you to take this opportunity to showcase the excellent
work you have been doing on the WTP API. 

Please submit ideas for topics to me by Fri., Feb. 18. 


Thanks, 

Lawrence Mandel
