Hi,
I think this proposal is also interesting for the EMF-Community because
to some extend it also adds new things to EMF and opens new markets for
EMF-Projects (Swing & GWT).

It seems that while I was not looking, the process for creating components
got a little heavier (but also more powerful).
Under the new Eclipse Development Process [1], which was recently approved
by the Eclipse Board of directors [2], new components are treated very much
like new projects and need a formal creation review (however, no voting
apparently).
Therefore, I would like to proceed as follows:
For about one week, we can use this newsgroup and the wiki page [6] to
gather informal feedback. After that, Tom and I will work with the Eclipse
Foundation to publish the proposal, which means that it will be sent to the
eclipse-committers and membership-at-large mailing lists. This is when we
transition from the 6.2.1 Pre-proposal phase to the 6.2.2 Proposal phase
(see [1]).
"In the Proposal phase, the proposers, in conjunction with the destination
PMC and the community, collaborate in public to enhance, refine, and clarify
the proposal." In other words, during that phase we will still be looking
for feedback from the community.
Not sure how much time we should allocate for the Proposal phase, how about
a minimum of two weeks before the creation review if all goes well?

Tom,
sounds good what I'm reading from wiki

.....
> improve usability of Eclipse-Databinding by providing a high-level
Widget-API
> promote reuse of rich UI code across Eclipse (JFace/SWT), ...
> simplify rich UI development by providing simpler facades and
powerful binding
.....
but there's already another eclipse project (Riena) also providing a
high-level api to simplify the work with widgets and databinding
is it really a good idea to have two projects trying to do the same ?
the Riena team ist just working to make use of their ridgets also
stand-alone without the Riena-specific things
and what I've seen and tested till now from Riena they did a great job
and simplify the work with widgets and databinding, add markers,
validation etc.
