[wtp-pmc] Proposal for WTP Incubation Project
|
Colleagues,
One "todo" item I have for
this year is to start a WTP Incubation Project.
I've just learned if I get the proposal
in on Monday, we can have the official review a week from Monday, else
wait a month.
So ... I've whipped up the proposal and
am distributing it now to the WTP PMC this weekend, and plan to submit
on Monday afternoon for it's formal community review.
That is, unless I hear a quick objection
from you!
Apologies, for the short runway, but
it is pretty routine and follows established precedents.
Many of you PMC members are on the initial
committers list as I choose most of the Project leads as the seed committers
to get things going.
I don't think it will be very much extra
work for any individual (and will save us work, long term),
but, since you are all experienced Eclipse
committers, you would be expected to shepherd it along as a project committers
would:
review code occasionally, participate
in votes that are called, etc. It's sort of like we had to start with some
group ... and you are the
best choices. As time goes on,
I suspect every Top Level Project will have one of these, or they may even
be created "automatically" for each TLP.
So, please take a quick look at
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/devProcess/wtpProjects/WTP%20Incubation%20Project%20Proposal.pdf
and see if there's anything drastically
wrong, otherwise we'll get this through the process quickly, and can handle
some
of the mechanics at the same time we
handle our other "refactoring" mechanics.
Later, especially if you want to take
advantage of this project and it's parallel IP process, the proposal has
a lot of links to
other, related documentation on "how
to do" incubation projects that you can read more closely, so you
might want to
book mark it for reference.
We will still discuss at our Tuesday
meeting, and can always cancel if any of you object on Tuesday.
Thanks,
