0. Last week's minutes (below) not additional comments were noted 1. Status
on Wikki The Eclipse ALF Wikki appears to be operational. A number of people
have had success acessing and updating it.

Points to note:


If your browser pops up a https change warning you will see numerous popups
when you login. The login may fail the first time possibly because of this.
Trying again seems to result in success.

We don't know how to add pictures - Adam will take a look

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

2. Apply a Version Label/Tag

It was suggested that we need some more integration based use cases to pick
from.

Build and Issue tracking were mentioned as good targets for this A new task
was created to document that (T11).

Adam Simantel will add some more now the wikki is more up to date week

T11. Integration based use cases

We need to capture a set of typical SCM integration use cases to ground the
ALF vocab effort

Adam Simantel

Eric Minick

All

Eric created a Wikki page which was discussed (see below) It was suggested
that we need to have some scenario based use cases (see Use Cases Below) We
decided to continue this task in a separate Mail thread.

This appears to be close to the idea of T3 (above) which somehow I missed in
the task review

T12. Review and Discuss Data Model - All - due May 24 T13. Review and
Discuss "Component" concept - All - due May 24 T14. Wikki pictures - Adam -
due May 24

3. Use Cases

We started to discuss the use cases posted to the wikki by Erick M. Some
clarifications were made

Get - query gets all source to clean workspace Update Workspace - query gets
only updated source to workspace Change Detection - query returns a boolean
Change Report - query returns a diff report

Checkin Derived Objects was noted as missing

It was suggested that these were still a bit low level and we should start
with some scenarios.

We came up with Scheduled, On Demand, Triggered and Patch Build. We decided
to persue this in a email thread. On reflection

4. Workspace discussion (time permitting) Time did not permit.

5. Any other business

No other business was noted.
