Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] "Remote workspaces" on E4 Project Proposa

Hi Martin, 

As I recall it came out of the client/server
split discussions http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/ClientServer.  You've
hit on a lot of the issues.  Underlying all this of course is an assumption
that with some web based Eclipse UI I *will* still have a workspace on
the server (v.s. say SQL queries to a DB).  Its a likely path of investigation.

I thought the purpose Scope section
is to provide a shape to the set of issues *someone* might work on in the
e4 project.  It was built up from looking through the summit work
area notes.  I didn't interpret it as each being a work area with
distinct owners. I think that's an organization issue internal to the project.

I'd be fine with us removing "Remote
Workspaces" if we thought it was out of scope, irrelevant, ambiguous,
creating too much overlap with an existing project, or just plain wrong
because I misinterpreted the topic discussions.  If we remove it from
the Scope though we're saying nobody is going to be caring/working on it
(not even in the Flexible Resources work), its not our job on e4. If its
just about who-does-what, then we should decide that separately. Certainly
at present our problem isn't around too many groups wanting to tackle the
same problem :)

Hope the clarifies. Please let me know
if you have a different interpretation.

Regards,
Kevin

Subject	[eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] "Remote workspaces" on E4 Project        Proposal?

Hi all,
 
I just looked into the http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Project_Proposal#Scope
and found something titled "Remote workspaces".
 
Does anybody have any more details about
what this might mean,
and who would be caring for it?
 
It could involve a whole lot of very different
subitems, like

• What about the Workspace when E4 is running as client/server app?
• What about synchronous access and high latency in EFS-shared remote resources?
• What about "linking" remote resources rather than "including" them in order to optimize refresh on slow remote parts of the workspace?
• What about access control and monitoring change in remote workspaces?
• Should a notion of "Shadowing", or caching remote resources with a local copy be part of the Platform?

The
answer to my question above likely plays a role in planning the
Flexible Resource theme, and
in case there is no clear owner I'd
be in favor of getting rid
of the Theme from the Scope.
 
Thanks,
