0. Last week's minutes (attached)

There were a couple of comments on the mailing list. I have included them in
the notes from today's meeting 1. Status on Wikki

The Wikki content has now been moved from Daniel Gross's private Wikki to
the official Eclipse Wikki site for ALF. You can contribute by using your
Eclipse bugzilla user id. There is a link on:

http://www.eclipse.org/alf/

You can access it directly at

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ALF

The SCM vocabulary stuff can be found in the "Vocabularies" section.

Initial rules of engagement are:

0. Please wait for Richard to update the Wikki with the latest changes (see
T6 below)

1. feel free to add "facts" to the main text of the wikki.

2. if you have a comment or a new and/or controversial subject you are
adding please make it obvious by pre-pending [FOR COMMENT - your initials].
Possibly the "discussion" section will work for things like this. Please
give that try.

3. We will adjust our conventions as we gain experience.

Thanks to Mark Phippard for doing the work to move this across and special
thanks to Daniel Gross for hosting the original ALF Wikki.

2. Status on tasks

agreement that we have a good starting set. Obviously we have more
refinement to do but the goal of this task is complete

Todo

>From the current set the following have been nominated by Mark P.
