[ews.eclipse.technology.desk] Re: new project lead

[Ed Burnette <ed.burnette@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Wayne, for your support and work on the project up to this point. 
In the coming weeks I'd like to focus on rebooting the proposal process, 
and getting the project approved so we can have a developer mailing list 
and a CVS area. I'd like to set a goal of getting that done by the end 
of May if the PMC is willing.

Next we need to put together some milestone plans, and start getting 
code in people's hands. I'd like to set a goal of getting some kind of 
download out within 30 days of project approval.

Everything will be fully transparent with open discussions here on the 
newsgroup and eventually on the development mailing list too. The 
current draft proposal is located here:

   http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-desk/index.html

Please continue to post comments on this proposal in this newsgroup. 
Also, if you'd like to be on the interested parties list in the proposal 
then post a note here, including what contributions you hope to be able 
to make.

Thanks,
--Ed
