Project Plan draft for Release Candidate 1 posted online on the ALF site.  
Contains tasks identified, grouped into milestones on 4/28, 6/30, 8/31, & 
10/31.  There are a lot of tasks and we'll need a lot of participation.  
Please review and email Mirinda any additional tasks you are aware of, and 
also identify any tasks you (or someone in your organization) would like 
to take on.  We'll want to finalize owners fairly soon.


Tasks for 4/28 deliverable:

- Working Stubs - Tim needs to get stubs from all the POC participants.  
Team will need to agree on the approach/design for this.  Tim will start 
an email discussion.

- VMWare Image for POC Participants - Tim is cleaning up & will need USB 
from the partners.  Tim will start an email discussion.

- Single Sign On - Brian will be continuing to work on design & drafting 
an implementation plan.

- Finalizing Eclipse contributions for the POC.

- Also we'll be working on tasks for Event Manager, download/install of 
ALF POC, and some ALF installation/configuration documentation.


Daniel Gross setup a Wiki for ALF, there is a link to it from the ALF 
site.  It's getting a good number of hits, and resulting in good feedback. 
Check it out!

Brian is reviewing HyperModel Data Modeling Tool.  This may be good for 
use with the Vocabulary work & XML models.  Bob noted that it may not use 
EMF and this may be an issue.  It would be good to agree on a common 
modeling tool for ALF use.

Brian is working to setup a meeting with Higgins (possibly next Wed 4/12 
3:00 PT).  Will discuss the ALF security architecture within the context 
of the Higgins project.  Proposing that ALF builds this in conjunction 
with Higgins & contributes to Higgins.  Brian will announce the meeting 
time to the group when finalized.

Brian is soliciting feedback on the Single Sign On Architecture document.  
If you have any feedback, please email the group.  Major changes that 
you'd like to see should be identified soon before we get too far into the 
design & implementation.

Tim will be kicking off a Vocabulary team for Source Control Management.  
Mark Phippard & Richard Title have expressed interest in participating.  
Tim will be setting up a meeting for a group interested in this soon.  If 
you're interested, keep an eye out for the email on this.
