Agenda

1. Review of Open Action Items

1.1 2005-06-09 [ACTION] Arthur
will get WTP 1.0 M8, M9, and M10 targets added to Bugzilla.

1.2 2005-06-09 [ACTION] TimW

1.3 2005-06-06 [ACTION] Arthur

2. WTP 1.5 Milestones Proposal [1]

The PMC has proposed the following dates:

1.5 M1 - 2006-02-24
1.5 M2 - 2006-04-21 
1.5 M3 - 2006-06-16 
1.5 M4 - 2006-07-14 (end game) 

3. Bug Handling Process Proposal

We need to establish a WTP process for
handling bugs. Here's a strawman proposal:

a) Automatic email notifications will
be send out once a week to anyone who reported a bug that is waiting to
be verified. See [2] for an example.  Developers should then close
the verified bugs. We will review the unverified and unclosed  bugs
weekly and take corrective action for old bugs.

b) Component owners should reassign
bugs that are currently assigned to an inbox id. We will review the inboxes
weekly and take corrective action for old bugs.

c) Bugs should be accurately targetted.
If the target is known, assign it. Otherwise leave it as unspecified to
avoid raising false hopes. We will review the bugs assigned to the current
release weekly. Also, any major bugs that are not targetted to the current
release should have a good rationale for being defered.

d) We will review the major bugs targetted
to the current release weekly.

e) Defer fixing internal API violations
to WTP 1.0 M8 since the focus of WTP 0.7 is end-user tools.

f) Defer most other non-user impact
fixes to at least WTP M8.

Jeffrey has posted a Web page that contains
the Bugzilla queries we need to review the status. [3]
