Doug and Jesper:

Do you guys want to shoot for January 21st as the target date for the first Milestone release for XSL Tools project? This way we can get it out in front of the community and start to get some feedback on it?
January 21st is fine in general terms (no vacation planned or anything like that), but I have to check what I'm committing to for that date...
WTP's M4 milestone is January 7th, so that puts us +2 weeks out from them to make sure that there aren't any gotchas with the M4 release. I've run the current code base with the latest M4 build and nothing major.
I hope they get the version 2 validator in place. I'm assuming we're going to be prereq'ing 3.4 (at least in selected plugins).
1. Update the WTP Incubator page so that it has links to the XSL Project pages on the wiki.
I think this can be done with the committer access we have now (through WebDAV, I think it was?)
2. Get automated builds running. David we'll need your help with this as I think we want to leverage the same process as WTP already has.

3. Start getting some visibilty on the various XML forums. I'm already subscribing to both the XML-Dev and XSLT development lists so I can put an announcement out there. Any of you Blog???
I blog occasionally: http://occasional-eclipse.blogspot.com/

It's included on Planet Eclipse. I was planning on writing a series of installments on project incubation, how community projects like X-Assist and OrangevoltXSLT can evolve, including some de-mystification of the legal stuff.
4. General cleanup...particularly in preferences...we have two places were XSL configurations happen. I think we need to consolidate it down to one. Same thing with launching...we the old Orangevolt code isn't used, we probably don't want it packaged in a Feature for the XSLT tooling.

Anything else?
1. A Cheat Sheet and additional help info.
2. A new and noteworthy-style page.
